:cool: " Power is all Perception. Its nonuse is its greatest use. The trick is to use the least amount of power to create the maximum amount of change. Someone who has elegance can apply power, selectively, like a lazer, and carefully, almost unobtrusively, so that you don't feel like you're being overpowered. You feel you're being motivated." :holy: Diane K. Shane

" Values are the emotional rules by which a society organizes and disciplines itself. Without them, nations---individuals can run amok."
James Michener

" The Voice of the Intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing. Ultimately, after endless rebuffs, it suceeds. This is one of the few points in which one may be optimistic way about the future of mankind."
Freud
The Future of an Illusion

" The fundamental fact about the Greek was that he had to use his mind. The ancient priests had said, " Thus far and no farther. We set the Limits of Thought." The Greeks said, " All things are to be examined and called into question. There are no limits set on thought."

" At the same time the man who has become a thinking being feels a compulsion to give to every will-to-live the same reverence for life that he gives to his own. He experiences that other life in his own. He accepts as being good:
to preserve life
to promote life
to raise to its highest value life which is capable of development

And as being evil:
to destroy life
to injure life
to repress life which is capable of developement.

This is the absolute, fundamantal principle of the moral, and it is a necessity of thought."
Albert Schweitzer


"Real life, is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible."
Bertrand Russell


" The history of civilized man is the history of the incessant conflict between liberty and authority." Charles T. Spradding

Pain and Affright, Rapturest Wings." Benet :fixed: :hug: :hug: :hug:

" The significance of the Pause is that the rigid chain of cause and effect is broken. In the person's life response no longer blindly follows stimuli. There intervenes the two our human imaginings, reflections, considerations and ponderings. The Pause is the prerequisite for wonder. When we don't pause we lose our communication with Destiny. " Rolo May "Freedom and Destiny"


" The interval between the events are more significant than the events themselves. "
Albert Einstein

" Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a Judge in the Field of Truth and Knowledge---will be shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
Albert Einstein


" An intelligent mind acquires knowledge,
and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge." Proverbs 18:15


"True persons of old, slept without dreams; woke without worries...Were they cool? Only as cool as autumn. All that came out of them came quiet, like the four seasons.
Joy does all things without concern" Chung Tze
