“Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone,
Kindness in another’s trouble,
Courage in your own.”
(Viata e in majoritatea ei spuma si baloane de sapun,
Doua lucruri stau ferme ca o piatra,
Bunatatea in necazul altuia,
Curajul in necazul tau propriu.)
Adam Lindsay Gordon

“When love is real you don’t get over it at all, it stays with you forever, expanding your heart and enabling you to love others more deeply. Love is a gift, child, a grace.” (Cand dragostea e reala nu vei putea trece peste acest sentiment deloc, va ramane cu tine pentru totdeauna, deschizandu-ti si mai tare inima, dandu-ti posibilitatea sa ii iubesti pe ceilalti mult mai adanc. Dragostea e un cadou, copilule, un har.)
Penelope J. Stokes

“If it is peace you want, seek to change yourself, not other people. It is easier to protect yourself with slippers than to carpet the whole earth.” (Daca ceea ce doresti e pacea, cauta sa te schimbi pe tine insuti, nu pe ceilalti oameni. E mai usor sa te protejezi pe tine cu saboti decat sa intinzi covorul peste intreaga lume.)
Anthony De Mello
“Five great enemies to peace inhabit with us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride. If those enemies were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.” (Cinci mari inamici ai pacii locuiesc cu noi: avaritia, ambitia, invidia, mania si mandria. Daca acesti inamici ar fi sa fie exilati, ar trebui sa ne bucuram intr-un mod infailibil de pace perpetua.)

Penelope J. Stokes
“There is no limit to what can be accomplished if it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.” (Nu exista limita in ceea ce poate fi realizat, daca nu conteaza cine isi asuma meritul.)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.” (O inima, daca cineva ti-ar spune ca sufletul piere la fel ca trupul, raspunde-i ca florile ofilesc, dar samanta ramane.)
Kahlil Gibran
“Anger is the most impotent of passions. It affects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed.” (Mania este pasiunea cea mai lipsita de putere. Nu afecteaza nimic din ceea ce urmareste si raneste mai tare pe cel ce este posedat de ea decat pe cel impotriva careia este indreptata.)

Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.” (Timpul este gratuit, dar e de nepretuit. Nu il poti avea in proprietate, dar te poti folosi de el. Nu poti sa il pastrezi, dar poti sa il traiesti. Odata ce l-ai pierdut nu il vei mai putea intoarce niciodata.)
Harvey MacKay

Martin Luther King, Jr.
“What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.” (Ce este viata? Este o licarire de lumina a licuriciului in noapte. Este o rasufare a bizonului pe timp de iarna. Este o umbra mica ce aluneca peste iarba si se pierde in apus.)
Proverb nativ american

Jean de La Fontaine
“When you are confronted with an opponent, conquer him with love.” (Cand te confrunti cu un oponent, cucereste-l cu dragoste.)
Mahatma Gandhi
In loc de PS: Da stiu ... o sa ziceti poate ... well stim ca Mahatma ... oare tu nu stii? Si o sa dau poate o explicatie scurta ... imi place mult acest citat (ca si principiu) ... ca multe altele de la multi altii care nu au fost neaparat crestini sau crestini declarati ...
“To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.” (Sa ierti e cea mai mare, cea mai frumoasa forma de dragoste. In schimb, vei primi nespusa pace si fericire.)
