When you make a choice, you change the future.
-Deepak Chopra
Patriotism is, fundamentally, a conviction that a particular country is the best in the world because you were born in it…
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
-Terry Pratchett
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,
because it serenely disdains to destroy us.
Every angel is terrible.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
