Aloha Kakou

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, no matter who said it, no matter if I said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

“No one saves us but ourselves, no one can and no one may, we ourselves must walk the path”

“We are what we think, all that we are arises with our thoughts, with our thoughts we make our world.”

“If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let one meal pass without sharing it in some way.”

“Words have the power to destroy and heal, when words are both true and kind, they can change our world.”

“Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

“Thousand of candles can be lit from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened, happiness never decreases by being shared.”

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it, do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many, do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books, do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders, do not believe in traditions because it has been handed down for many generations, but after observation and analysis, when you find anything agrees with reason and is conducive with the good and benefit of one and all, then except it and live up to it.”
