Ιστορικός Εαυτός

..
Όσο δυνατότερα σύρεις τη νευρή του στοχασμού σου προς τα πίσω,
στη σωστή εκτίμηση του παρελθόντος,
τόσο καλύτερα θα γνωρίσεις το σήμερα,
και τόσο ασφαλέστερα θα σημαδέψεις προς το μέλλον.

Το γιασεμί - Γιώργος Σεφέρης

Είτε βραδιάζει,
είτε φέγγει,
μένει λευκό
το γιασεμί.

The world is as it is presented in our mind

People are born to die and they die to be born again.
All thee things of enjoyment are evanescent and are the roots of doing wrongs and dangers.
The mutual relations of the objects of senses are mere figments of IMAGINATION.
The world is as it is presented in the mind,and the mind appears to be without existence.

Myself

This day deserves to be written in letters of gold,when I discovered myself.

Clean

If the inside is clean,the outside is bound to be so.

Serve

There is not a single moment in life when man cannot serve.

Oppositions

Opposition makes the man.

Joy

The joy of life lies in divesting oneself of life's cares.

Action

Man reaches decisions on the strength of insignificant data and shapes his course of action accordingly.
Where such is the case,it is better not to reach a decision as far as possible,and to be indifferent as regards the results.
But should it become a duty to take a decision,it should be taken with the greatest possible care and should be fearlessly implemented.

True life

That life which causes the least possible injury is a simple life.
That alone is pure which does not causes even the least pain to anyone.

Sacrifice

Sacrifice that causes pain is no sacrifice at all.
True sacrifice is joy-giving and uplifting.
