It can in no sense be said that heaven is outside of any one; it is within.

some quotes from mohammed (pbuh)

1-"When you see a person who has been given more than you in money and beauty, look to those, who have been given less.


2-"Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith."

3-"It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is better still to sit with the good than alone.
It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent; but silence is better than idle words."


4-"Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind."

5-"Keep yourselves far from envy; because it eats up and takes away good actions, like a fire eats up and burns wood."

6-"Conduct yourself in this world, as if you are here to stay forever; prepare for eternity as if you have to die tomorrow."

Some Native American quotes:

Don't be afraid to cry. It will free your mind of sorrowful thoughts.

Day and night cannot dwell together.

They are not dead who live in the hearts they leave behind.

Before eating, always take time to thank the food.

When we show our respect for other living things, they respond with respect for us.

If we wonder often, the gift of knowledge will come.

Our first teacher is our own heart.

Will we be known forever by the tracks we leave.

When a man moves away from nature is heart becomes hard.

(And my favorite one) Those who have one foot in the canoe, and one foot in the boat, are going to fall into the river.
