HINDU, MUSLIM WISDOM AND HEALTH QUOTES

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

HINDU, MUSLIM WISDOM AND HEALTH QUOTES

Lord, bless us with amiable companions and children that may be a source of delight to our eyes. Allow us to be of the devout.

- From the prayer book "Al-Hizbul-A'zam"

The adorable one who is seated In the heart rules the breath of life. Unto him all the senses pay their homage. When the dweller in the body breaks out In the freedom from the bonds of flesh, what remains? For this Self is supreme!

- Katha Upanishad

Here's a task: Be the bearer of only good news today. In living out this task, note whether you find it difficult to maintain. And if so, discover why within yourself.

- Caroline Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso

We load up on oat bran in the morning so we'll live forever. Then we spend the rest of the day living like there's no tomorrow.

- Lee Iacocca

There is very little difference in people but that little difference makes a big difference. This difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

- W. Clemet Stone

As I make my slow pilgrimage through the world, a certain sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow.

- A. C. Benson

I adore myself. How wonderful I am! I can never die. The whole world may perish, From Brahma to a blade of grass, But I am still here.

- Ashtavakra Gita 2:11

On the spiritual path no one has higher or lower status than anyone else.

- Nizam al-Din, “Fawa’id al-Fu’ad”

Concentration is not to try hard to watch something. In zazen if you try to look at one spot you will be tired in about five minutes. This is not concentration. Concentration means freedom. So your effort should be directed at nothing. You should be concentrated on nothing.

You have absolute control over your personal level of fitness. If you push yourself to new heights, stay competitive within yourself, give it your best shot, then chances are, you are going to look and feel great.

- Martina Navratilova
