Practice Quotes
-

If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practise, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid.

Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward.

Dalai Lama
-
