CINTA YANG AGUNG
Adalah ketika kamu menitikkan air mata
dan MASIH peduli terhadapnya..
Adalah ketika dia tidak mempedulikanmu dan kamu MASIH
menunggunya dengan setia..
Adalah ketika dia mulai mencintai orang lain
dan kamu MASIH bisa tersenyum sembari berkata ‘Aku
turut berbahagia untukmu’
Apabila cinta tidak berhasil…BEBASKAN dirimu…
Biarkan hatimu kembali melebarkan sayapnya
dan terbang ke alam bebas LAGI ..
Ingatlah…bahwa kamu mungkin menemukan cinta dan
kehilangannya..
tapi..ketika cinta itu mati..kamu TIDAK perlu mati
bersamanya…
Orang terkuat BUKAN mereka yang selalu
menang..MELAINKAN mereka yang tetap tegar ketika
mereka jatuh
“Jika cinta tidak dapat mengembalikan engkau kepadaku dalam kehidupan ini… pastilah cinta akan menyatukan kita dalam kehidupan yang akan datang”
“Apa yang telah kucintai laksana seorang anak kini tak henti-hentinya aku mencintai… Dan, apa yang kucintai kini… akan kucintai sampai akhir hidupku, karena cinta ialah semua yang dapat kucapai… dan tak ada yang akan mencabut diriku dari padanya”
“Kemarin aku sendirian di dunia ini, kekasih; dan kesendirianku… sebengis kematian… Kemarin diriku adalah sepatah kata yang tak bersuara…, di dalam pikiran malam. Hari ini… aku menjelma menjadi sebuah nyanyian menyenangkan di atas lidah hari. Dan, ini berlangsung dalam semenit dari sang waktu yang melahirkan sekilasan pandang, sepatah kata, sebuah desakan dan… sekecup ciuman”
“Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana… seperti kata yang tak sempat diucapkan kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu… Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana… seperti isyarat yang tak sempat dikirimkan awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada…”
“…pabila cinta memanggilmu… ikutilah dia walau jalannya berliku-liku… Dan, pabila sayapnya merangkummu… pasrahlah serta menyerah, walau pedang tersembunyi di sela sayap itu melukaimu…”
“…kuhancurkan tulang-tulangku, tetapi aku tidak membuangnya sampai aku mendengar suara cinta memanggilku dan melihat jiwaku siap untuk berpetualang”
“Tubuh mempunyai keinginan yang tidak kita ketahui. Mereka dipisahkan karena alasan duniawi dan dipisahkan di ujung bumi. Namun jiwa tetap ada di tangan cinta… terus hidup… sampai kematian datang dan menyeret mereka kepada Tuhan…”
“Jangan menangis, Kekasihku… Janganlah menangis dan berbahagialah, karena kita diikat bersama dalam cinta. Hanya dengan cinta yang indah… kita dapat bertahan terhadap derita kemiskinan, pahitnya kesedihan, dan duka perpisahan”
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer, and then itself marches upon neighboring lands, killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
You have your ideology and I have mine.
You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.
Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.
The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.
The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
They consider me to have sharp and penetrating vision because I see them through the mesh of a sieve.
Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
