He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave.

Garth Stein

What if the idea of Mr. Right is completely false? What if there is no Mr. Wrong? What if every relationship-no matter how brief-contains a priceless lesson allowing you to grow and evolve into your grandest self?

Marie Forleo

You never really know what’s coming. A small wave, or maybe a big one. All you can really do is hope that when it comes, you can surf over it, instead of drown in its monstrosity.

Alysha Speer

Life is so much easier when you just chill out.

Israelmore Ayivor

Don’t cry, Treasure. You’ll get me all wet and then I’ll melt. I’m made of sugar, don’t you know.

Kady Cross

Here’s the thing, men have to also mature in how they see women, too. Because they need to understand that it’s not just about how we look, it’s about who we are. And I am going to tell you like this, ‘If you can’t love me with short hair, and you telling me I got to have long hair to be loved, guess what, I ain’t the one for you.’

Jada Pinkett Smith

What kind of footsteps will you leave for those who follow you?

Kathy Bee

And the danger is that in this move toward new horizons and far directions, that I may lose what I have now, and not find anything except loneliness.

Sylvia Plath

LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed.

Ambrose Bierce

Traveling—it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.

Ibn Battuta

It is a commonplace of all religious thought, even the most primitive, that the man seeking visions and insight must go apart from his fellows and love for a time in the wilderness.

Loren Eiseley

Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.

Rumi

What is more refreshing than salads when your appetite seems to have deserted you, or even after a capacious dinner – the nice, fresh, green, and crisp salad, full of life and health, which seems to invigorate the palate and dispose the masticating powers to a much longer duration.

Alexis Soyer

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Gibran Khalil Gibran

Let me sip from the goblet of worth.

Sean Kirkpatrick Clancy

What the hell are they all looking for? A way out. A way to the right way out. A way to leave. A way to go.
A way to have had it, to have had enough of it, to be done with it.
A decent way to give it all over to the giver of it all.

William Saroyan

Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.

Lewis Mumford

It’s hard not to stand in awe and enchantment with the beauty in which nature expresses herself.

Steve Maraboli

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.

Loren Eiseley

Sometimes it’s important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it’s essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow.

Douglas Pagels

With the selfies, a photographer has finally found his place in a photograph.

Amit Kalantri

I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.

Mahatma Gandhi

Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.

Anthony Bourdain

What is inherent inside you is your uniqueness and peculiarity.

Sunday Alidaja

Suppose I was to tell you that it’s just beauty that’s calling me, the beauty of the far off and unknown, the mystery and spell which lures me, the need of freedom of great wide spaces, the joy of wandering on and on—-in quest of the secret which is hidden over there—-beyond the horizon?

Eugene O’Neill

Burn me as much as you want. My remains will still smoke of your love.

Rumi

With curiosity in his voice he asked her, “What was the reason that knocked you down on the thought of this beautiful river?”

She gave genuine smile to him and replied: “The water is a shining jewel. It’s got purity in it. The sky gets reflected by the water which makes the sky look as heavenly as it already is. And as the wind hits the water, a series of beautiful dancing waves are formed. And by these I depicted all the nature’s beauty in just one picture”.

The old man was nothing but stunned by her words. Her left with a smile plastered on his face.

Rumina Poddar

If you let cloudy water settle, it will become clear. If you let your upset mind settle, your course will also become clear.

Gautama Buddha

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way!
O sinners, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
O sinners, let’s go down
Down in the river to pray

Lyrics by Alison Kraus

I’m so lonely (so lonely)
I’m Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own baby)
Been all about the world ain’t never met a girl that can take the things that you been through
Never thought the day would come where you would get up and run and I would be out chasing you

Song by Akon
