learning without thinking is labor lost; thinking without learning is perilous.
to be able to practice five virtues everywhere in the world constitutes humanity.
courtesy, magnanimity, good faith, diligence, and kindness. he who is courteous is not humiliated, he who is magnanimous wins the multitude, he who is of good faith is trusted by the people, he who is diligent attains his objective, and he who is kind can get service from the people.
the strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.

there is no distinctly american criminal class - except congress.

~ robert frost
if you don't think of the ultimate meaning of things as being separate from you, then there is no 'other' to address.
it's like fish trying to decide whether to relate to the ocean - they're in it.

not all writing must be concise. there is room for the grace note, the courteous phrase, the touch of oil that lets the gates of a sentence swing without squeaking.
~ james j kilpatrick
there is a time to admire the grace and persuasive power of an influential idea, and there is a time to fear its hold over us.
the time to worry is when the idea is so widely shared that we no longer even notice it, when it is so deeply rooted that it feels to us like plain common sense.
at the point when objections are not answered anymore because they are no longer even raised, we are not in control: we do not have the idea, it has us.
~ alfie kohn
it is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.

experience is what you get when you don't.
~ pete seeger
wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority.
the past gives us experience and memories; the present gives us challenges and opportunities; the future gives us vision and hope.
~ william arthur ward
the paths are many but their end is one.
~ alan watts
none are so empty as those who are full of themselves.

the hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

salvador dali
heaven is exactly in the middle of the chest of the man who has faith
don't be alarmed about perfection, you will never attain it
no masterpiece was ever created by a lazy artist
enough of denial! one must be affirmative.
enough of wishing to be cured! one must be sublime.
style will replace automation; technique, nihilism; faith will replace skepticism; strictness will replace abandon and individualism; hierarchy will replace collectivism and uniformity; tradition will replace experimentation.
the kabbalah
one of the most important rules of miracles is that: miracles do not happen
although we are all in different bodies, we are all in essence one completely connected soul, spiritual essence
although we are all in different bodies, we are all in essence one completely connected soul, spiritual essence
