To follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.
-Benjamin Franklin
Compassion is fellow feeling or sorrow for the sufferings of another. Compassion opens the door for freedom and expands the heart. It melts the hardened and makes people as soft as butter.
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship… To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
God has no marks, colour, caste, and no ancestors, no form, complexion, outline, costume and is indescribable. He is fearless, luminous and measureless in might. He is the king of kings, the Lord of the prophets. He is the sovereign of the universe, gods, men and demons. The woods and dales sing the indescribable. O Lord, none can tell Thy names. The wise count your blessings to coin your names.
Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?
-William Shakespeare
A person’s freedom can be seen as being valuable in addition to his or her achievements.
-Amartya Sen
