God is not the name of God, but an opinion about Him.
-Pope Sixtus I
With the darkness of ignorance, selfishness and greed looming large in his mind, man is unable to radiate the indwelling light of love, compassion and brotherhood.
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
Learning is retained through putting into practice; family prestige is maintained through good behavior; a respectable person is recognised by his excellent qualities; and anger is seen in the eyes.
A person is always startled when he hears himself seriously called an old man for the first time.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
-Josephine Hart
