Only with the Heart

A Finer Spirit of Hope
“A Finer Spirit of Hope” –|– Anthony Satori
“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”
— Woodrow Wilson
Internal Peace
“Internal Peace” –|– Anthony Satori
“One cannot reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.”
— Lao Tzu
Tremulous Ether
“Warm Glow” –|– Anthony Satori
“Love itself can never be defined. Light is something more than the sum of its ingredients — a glowing, dazzling, tremulous ether. And love is something more than all its elements — a palpitating, quivering, sensitive, living thing.”
— Henry Drummond
Heart of the Rose
“Heart of the Rose” –|– Anthony Satori
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
— I Corinthians 13:4-7
Whether one is religious or not, in my opinion this stands as one of the most profound and beautiful descriptions of love ever written. It is truly something worthy of our aspiration.

The Golden Link
“Cityscape” –|– Anthony Satori

— Petrarch
Ascent
“Ascent” –|– Anthony Satori
“Here I cry out, arms raised: ‘Both wealth and pleasure spring from dharma, so why is dharma not followed?’ Not for pleasure, not for fear, not for greed should one ever abandon dharma — not even to save one’s life. Dharma is eternal; happiness and misery are not eternal. The living self is eternal; the body through which it lives is not.”
— The Mahabharata
Love
“Love” –|– Anthony Satori
“It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other, and to honor the other for who they are.”
— Hermann Hesse
