Le mensonge est la pire des trahisons . ALORS JE DETESTE SES( 7 ) CHOSES ET VOUS???

"Le mensonge est la pire des trahisons ! C'est comme un coup de poignard au ventre que de savoir

que ce qu'on croyait vrai n'tait en fait que du vent...Des paroles jetes en l'air, des attitudes pour

tromper, des gestes pour attirer et finalement la dception, parce que les masques tombent toujours

et qu'on ne peut se cacher indfiniment...! On ne btit pas une relation sur des faux sentiments,

l'essentiel tant de savoir dchiffrer son cur ! Il y a des gens qui oublient que les mots ont un sens

et une valeur...que ce ne sont pas juste des paroles, que a veut dire quelque chose pour celui qui les

entend ! Ne dis jamais "je t'aime" si tu ne le penses pas...alors si tu ne le penses pas, tais-toi, on ne

joue pas avec ces mots... Mieux vaut vivre dans une simple ralit, que de croire de beaux

mensonges...L'amiti, c'est fragile, l'amour n'en parlons pas...! Alors de la sincrit pour mieux

prserver la qualit des liens, la fragilit des gens, et pour qu'encore on puisse croire des relations

saines possible entre les tres...La confiance et la sincrit sont les cls d'un vrai amour ou les

personnes s'apportent l'une l'autre en s'appuyant dans les moments difficiles, et partageant les

moments de plaisirs, sans aucune attente, juste pour le plaisir d'tre ensemble..."

enough love will not redeem

~Emmet Fox The most important human endeavor is striving for morality in our actions. Our

inner balance and even our very existence depends on it. Only morality in our

actions can give beauty and dignity to our lives.

~Albert Einstein The various religions are like different roads converging on the same point. What

difference does it make if we follow different routes, provided we arrive at the

same destination.

~Mahatma Gandhi

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as Godgives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up

the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his

widow, and his orphan -- to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a

lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.

~Mahatma Gandhi Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do,

Something you are, And something you give away.

~Robert Fulghum Without the assistance of the Divine Being---I cannot succeed. With that

assistance, I cannot fail.

~Abraham Lincoln Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through

understanding.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson Religion has nothing to do with compassion; it is our love for God that is the main

thing because we have all been created for the sole purpose to love and be loved.

~Mother Teresa A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time

and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something

separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This

delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to

affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from

this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures

and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Strange is our situation here on earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, notknowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.

~Albert Einstein It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is

shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of

others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and

crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those

ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression

and injustice.

~Senator Robert F. Kennedy Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may

come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if

you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles.

Helen Keller Only in the darkness can you see the stars. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow it has no real substance of its own, it is simply alack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stomp

on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance.

In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.

~Shakti Gawain The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the

support of a cause we believe to be just.

~Abraham Lincoln You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work

by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.

~St. Francis De Sales You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can only decide

how you're going to live. Now. Joan Baez I feel that my mission is, wherever I am,

to express my feeling about the importance of kindness, compassion, and the truesense of brotherhood. I practice these things. It gives me more happiness, more

success. If I practiced anger or jealousy or bitterness, no doubt my smile would

disappear.

~The Dalai Lama
