Salvador Dalí (en)

Life is too short to remain unnoticed.

Mark Twain (en/de)      [top]

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Trenne dich nie von deinen Traeumen. Wenn sie verschwunden sind, wirst du weiter existieren, aber aufgehoert haben, zu leben.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

They did not know it was impossible, so they did it!

Ist es denn nicht moeglich,
sich taeglich nahe zu sein,
ohne alltaeglich zu werden -
voneinander entfernt zu sein,
ohne sich zu verlieren...?

Beziehungweise
sich masslos zu lieben,
ohne sich lieblos zu massregeln -
einander gewaehren zu lassen,
ohne die Gewaehr zu verlieren...?

Beziehungsweise
einander sicher zu sein,
ohne sich abhaengig zu machen -
einander Freiheit zu gewaehren,
ohne sich unsicher zu werden...?

Beziehungsweise...

Seneca (de)      [top]

Du bist, der du bist!

Was hilft es, ueber das Meer zu setzen und den Wohnort zu wechseln?
Wenn du dem, was dich drueckt, entgehen willst, so musst du nicht an einem anderen Ort sein, sondern selbst ein anderer sein.
Deine Reisen werden dir keine Erleichterung schaffen; denn du reisest mit deinen Leidenschaften, und deine Uebel folgen dir nach.

Dalai Lama (de)      [top]

Lerne die Regeln, damit du sie brechen kannst.

Buddha (en/de)      [top]

"Buddha's footsteps"

MILAREPA

All meditation must begin with deep compassion.
Whatever one does must emerge from an attitude of love and benefiting others.

Jede Meditation sollte aus der Tiefe des Mitgefuehls wachsen. Ja - alles was du tust: lasse es entstehen aus Liebe und dem Wunsch anderen zu helfen.

THE BUDDHA

No wise man ever will harm the environment.

Keine weise Kultur wuerde je die Umwelt zerstoeren.
---
Love in the past - is only a memory.
Love in the future - is only a fantasy.
True love just lives in the here and now.
---
Your mind contains all possibilities.
---
It is your mind that creates this world.
---
Each morning we are born again. What we do today matters most.
---
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
---
 Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

BUDDIST PROVERB

There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

Samuel Butler      [top]

All of the animals except for man know that the principle business of life is to enjoy it.

Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

A Hadith of the Prophet Mohamed      [top]

Be in this world as if you are a traveler,
A passerby, with your clothes and shoes full of dust.
Sometimes you will sit under the shade of a tree,
Sometimes you will walk in the desert.
Be a passerby always, for this world is not your home.
