Do not look for evil. Look for the goodness of God all around you. As you look for signs of His presence, many more opportunities will occur for you to bless people and share God's true nature. ~Graham Cooke

Until you destroy your body, you don't learn to appreciate it. Treat the body like a temple because the body is so beautiful. If and when you understand your body then you will respect it. The body is like a bud, until the sun rises it will not bloom, until it blooms it will not be beautiful or give perfume. So respect it, take care of it. ~Bikram Choudhury
