"In each one of you there is a hidden being, still in the deep sleep of childhood. Bring it to life! In each one of you there is a call, a will, an impulse of nature, an impulse toward the future, the new, the higher. Let it mature, let it resound, nurture it! Your future is not this or that; it is not money or power, it is not wisdom or success at your trade — your future, your hard dangerous path is this: to mature and to find yourselves."
Hermann Hesse
Learning is no longer an improver; it is merely the most expensive time-filler the world has ever known.
Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are.
Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level. It's cheaper and if they don't comply just let them be and run as fast as you can
Neither looks forward where there is doubt nor backward where there is regret.
Look inward and ask not if there is anything outside you want, but whether there is anything inside that you have not yet unpacked
“The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we have of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think of us.”

This is not altogether pleasant experience, because you not only have to take stock of what you consider your assets but you also have to take a long look at what your friends call 'the trouble with you.'
Nevertheless, the journey is worth making.
I recommend limiting one's involvement in other people's lives to a pleasantly scant minimum
The only FREEDOM you truly have is in your MIND, so USE it.
Tolerance only for those WHO AGREE WITH YOU is NO TOLERANCE AT ALL.
You are FREE TO CHOOSE, but you are NOT FREE from the CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR CHOICE.
Justice suffers when men refuse to STAND FIRM for WHAT IS RIGHT.
The UGLIEST THING I've ever SEEN is a HUMAN BEING WITHOUT COMPASSION.
love light and peace
