The future is uncertain but the end is always near.
-Jim Morrison
The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
Wise do not believe that anyone does wrong willingly but only unwillingly out of ignorance.
-Socrates
A yogi who perceives his real Self as separate from his active senses and their objects never becomes attached to anything. He is aware of the dream nature of the universe and watches it without being entangled in its complex but ephemeral nature.
Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
-Guillaume Apollinaire
ut there are other words for privacy and independence. They are isolation and loneliness.
-Megan Whalen Turner
Chant the name of God with heartfelt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show.
