Far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs,

poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much ... in the
gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Ask a question and you are a fool for one minute.
Don't ask a question and you are a fool forever.

Chinese Proverb.

The voice of intelligence ... is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is
contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by
ignorance.

Dr. Karl Menninger

An optimist is the human personification of spring.

~~ Susan J. Bissonette ~~

If nature has made you a giver,
your hands are born open,
and so is your heart.
And though there may be times when
your hands are empty,
your heart is always full,
and you can give things out of that.

Change is not merely necessary to life. It is life.

Alvin Toffler

-- Janet Long

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our
presence automatically liberates others.

-- Nelson Mandela

Diversity, generally understood and embraced, is not casual liberal
tolerance of anything and everything not yourself. It is not polite
accommodation. Instead, diversity is, in action, the sometimes painful
awareness that other people, other races, other voices, other habits of
mind, have as much integrity of being, as much claim on the world as you do.
And I urge you, amid all the differences present to the eye and mind, to
reach out to create the bond that... will protect us all. We are meant to be
here together.

William M. Chase

"Anyone can become angry. That is easy. But to be angry
with the right person, to the right degree, at the right
time, for the right purpose and in the right way - that is
not easy. "

- Aristotle, Philosopher

"When you play it too safe, you're taking the biggest risk of
your life... Time is the only wealth we're given."
-- Barbara Sher

"Let us never confuse stability with stagnation."
-- Mary Jean LeTendre

"A great block to nourishment of the soul is distrust. We don't
trust ourselves, so we stay rooted in the easy and convenient.
We eliminate as much pain as we can from our lives and end up
painted into a corner we call safety. Safety is the most unsafe
spiritual path you can take. Safety keeps you numb and dead.
People are caught by surprise when it is time to die. They have
allowed themselves to live so little."
-- Stephen Levine

You have no conception of the limits
you have placed on your perception,
and no idea of all the loveliness that you could see.
Perception can make whatever picture
the mind desires to see.
Remember this.
In this lies either Heaven or hell,
as you elect.
Freedom from illusion lies
only in not believing in them.
