| If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. ~Henry David Thoreau Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing. ~Bill Cosby One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things. ~Henry Miller If you go as far as you can see, you will then see enough to go even farther. ~John Wooden If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ~William Blake Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air. ~John Quincy Adams |
Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.
~Lao-Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Most look up and admire the stars.
A champion climbs a mountain and
grabs one.
~Unknown
God is a metaphor for that which
transcends all levels of intellectual
thought. It's as simple as that.
~Joseph Campbell
My will shall shape my future.
Whether I fail or succeed shall be no
man's doing but my own. I am the
force; I can clear any obstacle
before me or I can be lost in the
maze. My choice; my responsibility;
win or lose, only I hold the key to my
destiny.
~ Elaine Maxwell
What's right isn't always popular,
and what's popular isn't always right.
~Unknown
Being challenged in life is
inevitable, being defeated is optional

| Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, Some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. ~ Shakespeare Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety. ~Plato Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another. ~ Plato I know I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing. ~ Socrates |
Where is man without the beasts?
If the beasts were gone, men would
die from a great loneliness of spirit.
For whatever happens to the beasts
soon happens to man. All things are
connected. This we know. The Earth
does not belong to man; man
belongs to the earth. This we know.
All things are connected, like the
blood which unites one family. All
things are connected. Whatever
befalls the Earth befalls the sons of
the Earth.
~Chief Seattle, Message to
President Pierce, 1954
But the fact that some geniuses were
laughed at does not imply that all
who are laughed at are geniuses.
They laughed at Columbus, they
laughed at Fulton, they laughed at
the Wright brothers. But they also
laughed at Bozo the Clown.
~Carl Sagan

| You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your deep, driving desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny. ~Upanishads To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else. ~Emily Dickinson |

| Follow your bliss. Find where it is and don't be afraid to follow it. ~Joseph Campbell |
