The ornament of the night is the moon, that of the day is the sun. The ornament of the devotee is devotion, that of devotion knowledge. The ornament of knowledge is meditation, and that of meditation is renunciation. The ornament of renunciation, says Tulsi, is pure, unalloyed peace.
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.
-George Bernard Shaw
That best portion of a man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
-William Wordsworth
