Find Quotations To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. Buddha Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. Buddha Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think. Martin Luther King, Jr. There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth. Martin Luther King, Jr. We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded. Maya Angelou I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself. Maya Angelou I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. Thomas Jefferson I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Thomas Jefferson
