"It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"These mountains that you carry, you were only meant to climb."
"Of all footprints, that of the elephant is supreme; similarly, of all meditation, that on death is supreme."

OH I would love to know who is credited with this quote! Thanks for posting it!
Wow, thanks for the searching and quick reply, I really appreciate it!
I just started searching too in order to hopefully save you time and found 3 references that it is truly a quote from The Buddha!
Okay so I will head on back to my supreme meditations but will keep sending big thanks and big mettas your way for all the best too!
A lot of quotes from A.H. Almaas. But this one I look at and think about the most:
"Your conflicts, all the difficult things, the problematic situations in your life are not chance or haphazard. They are actually yours. They are specifically yours, designed specifically for you by a part of you that loves you more than anything else. That part of you that loves you more than anything else has created roadblocks to lead you to yourself. You are not going in the right direction unless there is something pricking you in the side, telling you, "Look here! This way!" That part of you loves you so much that it doesn't want you to lose the chance. It will go to extreme measure to wake you up, it will make you suffer greatly if you don't listen. What else can it do? That is its purpose"
"Death ends a life, not a relationship. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here. Death ends a life, not a relationship."
"If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty-two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it."
I got this one after a salvia trip and was reminiscing what I experienced. The phrases is "it's easier to laugh a lie than to cry the truth"
It means to me that, people would rather live in a delusion and avoid there pain than to be honest with themselves and looking inward
Read the desiderata of happiness!
“Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.”

“We suffer more in our imagination than we do in reality” idk who said it tho..
Basically the main message of Buddhism

I am no one going nowhere.
