“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”
~Lao Tzu

Rabindranath Tagore
Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God, First fill your own house with the fragrance of Love.
Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God, First remove the darkness of sin from your heart.
Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer, First learn to bow in humility before your fellow men,
Go not to the temple to pray on bended kness , First bend down to lift someone who is downtrodden.
Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins, First forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you.
----Rabindranath Tagore, The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore
