The eyes of the cheerful and of the melancholy man are fixed upon the same creation; but very different are the aspects which it bears to them." - Albert Pike "Discontent may mean the stirrings of ambition, the desire to spread out, to improve and grow. Discontent is a sign of life, corresponding to growing pains in a healthy child." - Nellie McClung "Every citizen has a moral obligation to object to bad laws." - Wayne Cryts "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in the time of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality." - Dante "Justice and freedom do not depend so much on our willingness to stand up and fight for ourselves as it does on our willingness to stand up and fight for the rights of others." "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." "The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists." - Joan Robinson "They do not love that do not show their love." - John Heywood "If you cling to nothing, you can handle anything." - Lama Surya Das "How wonderful! How wonderful! All things are perfect exactly as they are!" - The Buddha "How joyful to look upon the Awakened and to keep company with the wise." - from the Dhammapada "Nothing so obstinately stands in the way of all sorts of progress as pride of opinion; while nothing is so foolish and baseless." - J. G. Holland "The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character; So watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.... As the shadow follows the body, as we think so we become." - from the Dhammapada "His universal compassion was due less to natural instinct, than to a profound conviction, a sum of thoughts that in the course of living had filtered through to his heart: for in the nature of a man, as in a rock, there may be channels hollowed by the dropping of water, and these can never be destroyed." from the book "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo. "The family pet isn't scheming to get into your purse to get his share of the money in your pocket, he's trying to figure out a way to get those pungent chicken bones out of the garbage pail. The value of anything is always the value we invest in it. Both money and chicken bones are essentially neutral; their value or lack of it is dependent upon each being's desire system" - Lama Surya Das "There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough." - Mother Teresa. "Most people die with their music still locked up inside them." - Benjamin Disreali. "I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfuly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?" - Chuang Tsu "O Lord, forgive three sins that are due to my human limitations: Thou art everywhere, but I worship you here; Thou art without form, but I worship you in these forms; Thou needest no praise, yet I offer you these prayers and salutations. Lord, forgive three sins that are due to my human limitations." - Hindu prayer. "Truth comes as a conqueror only to those who have lost the art of recieving it as friend." - Tagore "To die is nothing; but it is terrible not to live." - from the book "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo "All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind." - Aristotle "Of those who say nothing, few are silent." - Thomas Neiel "There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspect." - Thoreau "Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible sun within us." - Thomas Browne "Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom." - from the Tao Te Ching. "There is something pleasurable in the calm remembrance of a past sorrow." - Cicero "The highest happiness of man is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable." - Goethe "Sanity is a small price to pay for happiness." - Marabeth Madsen "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." - Albert Einstein "Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most times he will pick himself up and carry on." - Winston Churchill "Look within yourself. Within is a fountain of good, and it is always ready to bubble up, if you always delve." - Marcus Aurelius "A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools." - Spanish Proverb "No one grows old by living - only by losing interest in living." - Marie Beynon Ray "The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that I am here and you are there." - Yasutani Roshi "I don't know how much they tell you in schools these days, but Jesus Christ was not a European." - Peter Mirejovsky "At any given moment, life is completely senseless. But viewed over a period, it seems to reveal itself as an organism existing in time, having a purpose, trending in a certain direction." - Aldous Huxley "Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience." "Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore." - Psalm 16:11 "If I say to you, you are God - where does that leave religion? If I say to you, you are healed, where does that leave science, and medicine? If I say to you, you shall live in peace, where does that leave the peacemakers? If I say to you, the world is fixed - where does that leave the world?" - Conversations with God, Book One. By Neale Donald Walsch "Loneliness is the fundamental force that urgees mystics to a deeper union with God. . An experience of God quenches this thirst for the absolute but at the same time, paradoxiacally, whets it, because this is an experience that can never be total; by necessity, the knowledge of God is always partial. So loneliness opens up mystics to a desire to love each other and every human being as God loves them." - Jean Vanier.
