The biggest battle in life is not to compare your achievements against others and be proud, but rather be proud of what you have achieved yourself.

The biggest battle in life
— Loving Kindness Metta
May I be filled with loving kindness,
May I be well,
May I be peaceful and at ease,
May I be free from suffering
May you be filled with loving kindness,
May you be well,
May you be peaceful and at ease,
May you be free from suffering.
May all beings be filled with loving kindness,
May all beings be well,
May all beings be peaceful and at ease,
May all beings be free from suffering.”
— H.L. Mencken
“Once a woman passes a certain point in intelligence, it is almost impossible to get a husband: she simply cannot go on listening [to men] without snickering.”
— Unknown
“If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.”
— Marcel Proust
“Every kiss provokes another. Ah, in those earliest days of love how naturally the kisses spring into life. How closely, in their abundance, are they pressed one against another; until lovers would find it as hard to count the kisses exchanged in an hour, as to count the flowers in a meadow in May.”
— Alain de Botton
Do you love me enough that I may be weak with you? Everyone loves strength, but do you love me for my weakness? That is the real test.
— Søren Kierkegaard
“Which is more difficult, to awaken one who sleeps or to awaken one who, awake, dreams that he is awake?”
— a high school teacher’s list of 100 wisest words
I think this list is a good one. Most of them are forgotten because of the way we live nowadays. Hopefully some are holding onto the HV approach of life.
1. There are plenty of ways to enter a pool. The stairs is not one of them.
2. Never cancel dinner plans by text message.
3. Don’t knock it ‘til you try it.
4. If a street performer makes you stop walking, you owe him a buck.

you can tell by the way they treat you.
When someone
loves you they
don't have to say
it, you can tell
by the way they
treat you.

— What Happens After What Was “Suppose to Be” (Brianna Wiest)
“Things didn’t work out because, well, greater things were in the works. It’s so difficult while we’re blind and hurting and don’t know which way is up. But, if you have faith in anything, have faith in the fact that the universe has a beautiful way of straightening things out far better than we ever could. You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will look back in a few years and be absolutely perplexed and awed by how every little thing added up and brought you somewhere wonderful– or where you always wanted to be. You will be grateful that things didn’t work out the way you once wanted them to.”
a person's determination
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination.
— Mohabbatein
“Koi pyar kare toh tumse kare (someone should love you)
Tum jaise ho waise kare (for the way you are)
Koi tumko badal ke pyar kare (if someone tries to change you to love you)
Toh woh pyar nahi woh sauda kare (then it’s not love, but a compromise)
Aur saheba, pyar mein sauda nahi hota (and in love, there are no compromises)”
