Thought for the Day

  • The greatest word in all languages is understanding. Learn to think about life: the part we are intended to play in the scheme of things. Learn to value the principle of relationship; i.e., we are all One Life, One Breath, and One God. Therefore, there is good and God in all things. Look always for the good and you will find it along with wisdom. –Alfred J.Parker

  • They are simple little words when you think of them; self control, self discipline, and selflessness, and yet they represent a world of consciousness in thought, because every thought, every word, and every action can be fitted into one of those three categories. –Kabalarian Teachings

  • The wind does not talk with more gentleness to giant oaks than to the smallest leaf of grass. –Kahlil Gibran

  • Another destructive channel to well being is comfort: it destroys self-confidence and robs one of a sense of responsibility. There is no greater gift we can bestow upon others than a happy smile and a constructive thought of well being. To be happy means that one must first have happiness within, and this comes only through a balanced mind and wisdom. –Alfred J. Parker
