John Keats

Love is my religion - I could die for it. 

William W. Purkey

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.” 

Bernard M. Baruch

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”

Albert Einstein

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” 

Oscar Wilde

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

Dr. Seuss

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” 

Confucius

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. 

Many hands make light work.

f a lot of people carry a heavy object, it does not feel heavy. That is the general meaning of this proverb. If everyone works together to complete something—like cleaning, painting or group projects—then each person has less to do. More importantly, the job will be completed much more quickly.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

If you eat your cake, you won’t have it anymore, will you? So you can’t do both. This proverb is about having two opposite desires, and how it’s impossible to get both. Its meaning is similar to the proverb, “You can’t have the best of both worlds.”

medical joke

When I die I'm gonna donate my body to science, because that's the only way I'm getting into medical school.

Goethe

Treat a man as he is, he will remain so. 
Treat a man the way he can be and ought to be, and he will become as he can be and should be

Goethe

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Or as it’s more commonly said, “Too many cooks in the kitchen.” This is a well known experience—a lot people all trying to work in a kitchen around a small table or stovetop will make a mess and ruin the food. This proverb talks about the trouble of too many people trying to do the same thing at once.

Francis O'Walsh

A hospital should also have a recovery room adjoining the cashier's office

Marge Piercy

Experience is not what happens to a man, it's what a man does with what happens to him

Gottfried Benn

ailing and however trusting our inner being, this is being a Man

Don’t judge a book by its cover

Things are not always what they seem. This proverb teaches you not to make judgments about other people because of how they look or dress. A book with a boring or plain cover could be amazing. The same is true with people. A person might look like an athlete or fool, but there is probably a lot more to them than clothes suggest.

Norman Cousins

The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope. That is why the patient's hopes are the physician's secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription. 

John-Roger

Sometimes we allow other people to shake us. If someone calling himself a Buddhist or Moslem or Christian or Jew lays their belief structure and experience on you, along with their doubts about your experience and your belief structure, why should it bother you? Their way of aligning just has a different name on it. 

We are all striving for the same thing: To align ourselves with the Spirit, our Divinity. Why should we worry about their experience?

Marcel Jouhandeau

Because we imagine simultaneously all the steps we should do, we get discouraged, while it only takes to align them one by one

Milarepa

Accustomed long to contemplating Love and compassion, I have forgotten all difference between myself and others

Pearl S. Buck

To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.

Albert Einstein

I believe that a simple manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.

Louise Portal

To write is a love link with ourself and things, and the moments and the people. To write is like living a life parallel to our own everyday life ; To write is the purifying vase of the Soul and its dominions.

Steve Jobs

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. 
Don't be trapped by dogma--which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. 
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. 
Everything else is secondary.

Eleanor Roosevelt

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Georges Bernanos

the devil of our heart is called: "What's the use !

John-Roger

"The miracle starts with acceptance.

When we come to that place where we accept ourselves the way we are without judgment, we are then in a great position to give up any attachment to what we are not. It is those attachments to "what should be," to "I should have" and to "they ought to" that can produce anger, fear, resentment, rejection, or guilt -- five major emotions that can block you from everything you want.

Give yourself whatever time it takes to come to that place of acceptance. We human beings have many conditioned barriers to transcend. Be patient with yourself as you seek to improve your life. Most important, be loving. There is never a good enough reason to take away loving.

William James

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

Confucius

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. 

Voltaire

The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease. 

Muhammad Ali

I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick. 

Luther Burbank

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
