♥ The Warden - Anthony Trollope

You might pass Eleanor Harding in the street without notice, but you could hardy pass an evening with her and not lose your heart.

♥ Barchester Towers - Anthony Trollope

How many shades there are between love and inifference, and how little the graduated scale is understood!

♥ Barchester Towers - Anthony Trollope

And he stood there he began to be aware that he was himself in love. Forty years had passed over his head, and as yet woman's beauty had never given him an uneasy hour. His present hour was very uneasy.

♥ Barchester Towers - Anthony Trollope

She knew that it all meant love. She knew that this man at her side, this accomplished scholar, this practised orator, this great polemical combatant, was striving ans striving in vain to tell her that his heart was no longer his own.

♥ Doctor Thorne - Anthony Trollope

Habit is second nature, man; and a stronger nature than the fist. 

♥ As a Man Thinketh - James Allen

We don't attract what we want, but what we are.

♥ El arte de la felicidad - Dalai Lama [Langri Thangpa]

Cuando me acerque a alguien, en el fondo de mi corazón me consideraré el más bajo de todos y al otro el más alto... Cuando vea a seres de naturaleza malvada, oprimidos por el pecado de la violencia y por la aflicción, los consideraré tan raros como un precioso tesoro...

Cuando otros, por envidia, me traten mal, abusen de mí, me difamen o me causen daños similares, aceptaré la derrota y a ellos ofreceré la victoria...

Aquel que tras haberle otorgado yo toda mi confianza me cause un grave daño, será mi supremo maestro. En suma, que pueda yo dispensar beneficio y felicidad, directa e indirectamente a todos los seres, que pueda asumir en secreto el daño y el sufrimiento de todos los seres... 

♥ Como un hombre piensa - James Allen

Las circunstancias no hacen al hombre; lo revelan a sí mismo.
