Truth hurts - not the searching after; the running from!
-John Eyberg
One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.
Death is the mother of beauty. Only the perishable can be beautiful, which is why we are unmoved by artificial flowers.
-Wallace Stevens
The only real conflict you will ever have in your life won’t be with others but with yourself.
A leader has to be a samadarshi, one who sees everyone as being equal; satyadarshi, who moves with the Truth; paradarshi, who is transparent in action; doordarshi, being broad-minded and a visionary; and priyadarshi, embodying love and compassion.
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
-Patricia Sampson
