I think that I do feel that my nature is to express what this self, this particular self at this time, experiences in the world. And that is so organic – I use this metaphor a lot but I’ll use it again – it’s like a pine tree producing pine cones, or a blackberry bush producing blackberries – it’s just what happens with this being, now.

Thich Nhat HanhIntelligent people should learn from their experiences. With people on the street, the bad experience has beaten them.
Robert KiyosakiSee, people are watching you. Especially your children. They’re taking in every single thing you do. They are like video cameras with legs. And they are always in the record mode. They learn more from what you do than from what you say.
Joel OsteenThe beginning of reform is not so much to equalize property as to train the noble sort of natures not to desire more, and to prevent the lower from getting more.

Lucius Annaeus SenecaWhen you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

Vivienne WestwoodYou stay teachable most by reading books. By reading what other people went through.
Jim MattisI know how fiction matters to me, because if I want to express myself, I have to make up a story. Some people call it imagination. To me, it’s not imagination. It’s just a way of watching.
Haruki MurakamiWere I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it ‚the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.‘ The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of ‚Artist.‘

PlatoThe fundament upon which all our knowledge and learning rests is the inexplicable.
Arthur SchopenhauerThe sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased.
Alexander HamiltonPersonally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.
Carl SaganNature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity.

Edmund BurkeWhen men come to like a sea-life, they are not fit to live on land.

Albert CamusWhen you read, I’m sure you don’t realize that your eyes are going backwards and forwards and to this place and that place. Mine don’t do that.
Terry PratchettThe government, whether state or central, is elected. That means we have a responsibility to elect the right kind of leaders.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamPhilosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul.

Ralph Waldo EmersonThere’s definitely going to be things that I’m not very good at, things I can improve.
Lando NorrisBy what principle of original right is it that one-fiftieth or one-ninetieth of a great nation, by calling themselves a State, have the right to break up and ruin that nation as a matter of original principle?
Abraham Lincoln
