Book : Calm (published by Summerdale Publishing Ltd 2010)

This is a pocket-sized book of thoughts and quotations from writers, spiritual leaders and philisophers. All of them are meaningful, profound and well-illustrated. I especially like these:

  • Be happy in the moment – that’s enough. Each moment is all we need – not more. (Mother Teresa)
  • Freedom from desire leads to inner peace. (Lao Tzu)
  • Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul. (Martin Luther)
  • We think in eternity, but we move slowly through time. (Oscar Wilde)
  • There is no joy but calm! (Alfred Tennyson)
  • A smile is the beginning of peace. (Mother Teresa)
  • Things without remedy, should be without regard; what is done, is done. (William shakespeare)
  • Always be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. (Plato)
  • Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. (Marie Curie)
  • Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools. (Albert Einstein)
  • A well-spent day brings happy sleep. (Leonardo da Vinci)
