“In the end, Love always triumphs over hate. Always.”
Kim Strickland

“My first GoodReads quote. It should be something profound.”
Kim Strickland

“Leave the problems of God to God and karma to karma. Today you’re here and nothing you can do will change that. Today you’re alive and here and honored, and blessed with good fortune. Look at this sunset, it’s beautiful, neh? This sunset exists. Tomorrow does not exist. There is only now. Please look. It is so beautiful and it will never happen ever again, never, not this sunset, never in all infinity.

Lose yourself in it, make yourself one with nature and do not worry about karma, yours, mine, or that of the village.”
James Clavell, Shōgun

“Buddha once said to a man who was insulting and criticizing him, “If someone offers you a gift and you decline to accept it, to whom does it belong?”
The man replied, “Then it belongs to the person who offered it.”
To which Buddha replied, “That is correct.  So if I decline to accept your abuse, does it not then still belong to you?”
Anthony Robins
