Mahatma Gandhi Quotes, Disappointment Quotes, Joy Quotes

Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day.

The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time.

But the sure years reveal the deep remedial force that underlies all facts.

It is sometimes said that because of our past we, as a people, expect too much and set our sights too high. That is not the way I see it.

Each sporadic burst of work, each minor success and disappointment, each moment of calm and relaxation, seemed merely a temporary halt on my steady descent through layer after layer of depression, like an elevator stopping for a moment on the way down to the basement.
