Light
(page 2)
Pain and pleasure, like light and darkness, succeed each other.
Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
It's an art to live with pain... mix the light into gray.
To live in the light of a new day and an unimaginable and unpredictable future, you must become fully present to a deeper truth — not a truth from your head, but a truth from your heart; not a truth from your ego, but a truth from the highest source.
You must stand for something! It does not have to be grand, but it must be a positive that brings light to someone else's darkness.
The upside to anger? Getting it out of your system. You got to express your anger. Then you have room for more positive things. If I hold something in a long time, and then I speak it, it's amazing how the light shines so much brighter.
You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.
My whole reason for creating a network is literally to bring little pieces of light. It's to continue to spread little pieces of light in the world, to illuminate the possibility of the human spirit.
Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
I moved from a mountain with one traffic light to New York City when I was 17, and it was an amazing, eye opening, creative adventure. I would walk through the streets of Manhattan looking up at these huge buildings, amazed that I didn't know a single person in any of them.
Dating is fun. It's light: There's courting; there's the interesting, exciting text messaging and flirting. There's no weight. When you start getting into relationships, you really start having to consider each other in your lives, and I think that's really important.
On one hand, we know that everything happens for a reason, and there are no mistakes or coincidences. On the other hand, we learn that we can never give up, knowing that with the right tools and energy, we can reverse any decree or karma. So, which is it? Let the Light decide, or never give up? The answer is: both.
When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.
I travel light. I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life, wherever you are.
It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.
Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it's a green light.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
