None is more impoverished than the one

Who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency

That we can mint for ourselves, and spend

Without fear of bankruptcy.
- Fred De Witt Van Amburgh

The moment you become miserly you are closed
to the basic phenomenon of life … expansion, sharing.
The moment you start clinging to things, you have

Missed the target. Because things are not the target,
you, your innermost being, is the target …
not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you;
not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
- Osho

It's like this … I got sick and tired of coaches playing

For the TV. They'd be 20 points ahead with two minutes

To go and they'd be calling plays, waving their arms,

Showing off. My feeling was, when you knew the game

Was over, then sit down and shut up.

- Red Auerbach
