Important

The more important something is in your life, the more harmful it can be for you in the future if you abuse it.  The misfortunes and woes of people often come from the abuse of the most precious tool of our life: intellect. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 29 July) 13 August 2012

Good Thoughts

Think good thoughts, and your thoughts will be turned into good actions.  Everything begins in thought.  Guiding your thoughts is one of the keys to self-perfection.  If you suffer misfortunes in your life, look for their cause, not in your actions, but in the thoughts which inspired them, and try to improve those thoughts. If you are inspired by an event in your life, look for its origins in your previous thoughts which caused the event. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 9 August) 9 August 2012
