In Viktor Frankl's book 'Man's Search for Meaning' he describes a scene where the passengers of a train were dancing with joy. These are concentration camp inmates being hauled from one location to another for hard labor to serve the Nazis. They were dancing with joy with because they realized they didn't cross a certain bridge, which means they wouldn't have to bear the extreme weather condition of the other camp. For happiness and excitement, we do not need something truly wonderful in its own right. We just need something better than expected.

I used to think that the book of Job is about over coming suffering, then I read a book called "The Obstacle is the Way." and I realized that it is a book on relentless persistence to a vision.

One of the best love stories I have ever heard. Go into a love story for the other person "You." This is not only a love story but a story for any situation you desire. It is always about what you can bring for others.

One went to the door of the Beloved and knocked.
A voice asked: “Who is there?” He answered: “It is I.”
The voice said: “There is no room here for me and thee.”
The door was shut.
After a year of solitude and deprivation
this man returned to the door of the Beloved.
He knocked.
A voice from within asked: “Who is there?”
The man said: “It is Thou.”
The door was opened for him.

- Rumi

“We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.”

“Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of the problem.”

“This is my secret – I don’t mind what happens.”

“The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.” (my favorite  :))

“So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.”

“In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand.  Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.”

- Jiddu Krishnamurti Philosophy Quotes -

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
