Our lives are just a series of moments. Past moments are unchangeable, future moments are unknowable. The present moment is where we create our life.

Look at the present because that is where you will spend the rest of your life.

The past is a series of memories of present moments and the future is present moments to come.

When we fall in love with someone there's a moment when we take a picture of that person, an emotional snapshot, that we carry with us forever. If we're lucky, if we're very, very lucky, the person we fall in love with will always resemble that snapshot.

Courtesy is the grease that lubricates society.

You cannot grow a lotus on a granite rock. So too you cannot grow loving kindness in a granite heart.
