Quotes edit see section history

• “Kiekvienas žmogus įžengia į tavo pasaulį, ir visi įvykiai tavo gyvenime vyksta todėl, kad pats juos prisišaukei. Tik tu pats apsisprendi, ką su jais darysi.”

• “Nėra tokios problemos, kurioje neslypėtų tau skirta dovana. Stengiesi surasti problemų, nes tau reikia jų teikiamų dovanų.”

• “Įtikink save, kad tavo galimybės ribotos ir tikrai toks tapsi.”

• “Jei tau duodamas noras, tai bus suteikta ir jėgų jį paversti tikrove. Tik, žinoma, gali tekti paplušėti.”

• “Štai testas parodantis, ar tavo misija šioje žemėje baigta: Jei tu gyvas - ji dar tęsiasi.”

• “Kad gyventum laisvas ir laimingas, turi paaukoti nuobodulį. Tai atlikti ne visada lengva.”

• “Atsisveikindamas neliūdėk. Išsiskyrimas būtinas, kad vėl galėtum susitikti. Draugai vis vienas susieis, - po akimirkos ar po kelių gyvenimų.”

• “Kuo labiau tiki neteisybe bei nelaimėmis, tuo tavo neišmanymas didesnis. Tai ką vikšras vadina pasaulio pabaiga, mokytojui yra drugelis.”

• “In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.””

• “There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You should seek out problems because you need their gifts.”

• “Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding other that they know just as well as you. We are all learners, doers, teachers.”

• “Imagine the universe beautiful and just and perfect. Then be sure of one thing: God has imagined it quite a bit better than you have.”

• “You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.”

• “The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, God calls a butterfly.”

• “Everything in this book may be wrong”

• “Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours.”

• “Don't be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.”

• “Perspective–use it or lose it. If you turned to this page, you're forgetting that what is going on around you is not reality. Think about that.”

• “Remember where you came from, where you're going, and why you created the mess you got yourself into in the first place.”

• “Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.”

• “Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.”

• “The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.”
