"A human being is a part of the whole called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish the delusion but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind."

- Albert Einstein

"The weak never forgive; forgiveness is an attribute of the strong."

people who put you down.

from things that poison your soul, 

the healthier you will be."
