Quote of the day

To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury,and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;
to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart;
to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never;
in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--
this is my symphony.

WILLIAM HENRY CHANNING.

{K&J}

A being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Albert Einstein

{K & J}​
 
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.

The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours?
I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.
