unlucky place, or an unlucky man. I have seen many clever men, very clever men, who had not shoes to their feet. I
never act with them. Their advice sounds very well, but they cannot get on
themselves; and if they cannot do good to themselves, how can they do good
for me? |

another mind. |
Dr. Thomas Arnold Bennett |

is often less the results of natural decay, than of disuse. Ambition has ceased to operate; contentment bring indolence,

been known to die, literally speaking, of disease induced by intellectual
vacancy. |

| In studying the history of the human
mind one is impressed again and again by the fact that the growth of the mind is the widening of the range of
consciousness, and that each step forward has been a most painful and
laborious achievement. One could almost say that nothing is more hateful to
man than to give up even a particle of his unconsciousness. Ask those who
have tried to introduce a new idea! |
Carl Jung |
Swiss psychologist (1875 - 1961) |
| I was always puzzled by the fact
that people have a great deal of trouble and pain when and if they are forced or feel forced to change a belief or
circumstance which they hold dear. I found what I believe is the answer when
I read that a Canadian neurosurgeon discovered some truths about the human
mind which revealed the intensity of this problem. He conducted some
experiments which proved that when a person is forced to change a basic
belief or viewpoint, the brain undergoes a series of nervous sensations
equivalent to the most agonizing torture. |
Sidney Madwed |

they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetites. |

| To see a man fearless in dangers.
untainted with lusts, happy in adversity, composed in a tumult, and laughing at all those things which are generally
either coveted or feared, all men must acknowledge that this can be from
nothing else but a beam of divinity that influences a mortal body. |

| If you make money your god, it will plague you like the devil. |
Henry Fielding |
English dramatist & novelist
(1707 - 1754) |
| Money never made a man happy yet,
nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its
filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and
trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely
upon it; "Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great
treasure, and trouble therewith." |
Benjamin Franklin |
US author, diplomat, inventor, physicist, politician, & printer (1706 - 1790) |

downward. |
Henry David Thoreau |
US Transcendentalist author (1817

| If rich people could hire other people to die for them, the poor could
make a wonderful living. |
Yiddish Proverb |
| Men are more accountable for their
motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections. |
Archibald Alexander |
| Though a good motive cannot sanction
a bad action, a bad motive will always vitiate a good action. In common and trivial matters we may act without
motives, but in momentous ones the most careful deliberation is wisdom. |
W. M. L. Jay |
| "Every man has his price."
This is not true. But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. To win over certain people to
something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity,
nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice - and there is nothing you cannot get
them to swallow. To their souls, these are the icing, the tidbit; other kinds
of souls have others. |
Friedrich Nietzsche |
German philosopher (1844 - 1900) |

our good deeds if people saw all of the motives that produced them. |

Oscar Hammerstein II |
| Ahhh. A man with a sharp wit. Someone ought to take it away from him
before he cuts himself. |
Peter da Silva |
| We grown-up people think that we
appreciate music, but if we realized the sense that an infant has brought with it of appreciating sound and rhythm, we
would never boast of knowing music. The infant is music itself. In the cradle
it in moving its little arms and legs in a certain rhythm. And when our music
falls on the ears of an infant it is of the lowest character compared with
the music it is accustomed to. |
Hazrat Inayat Khan |
| Next to theology I give to music the
highest place and honor. And we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse,
rhyme, and song. |
Luther |
| Nevertheless the passions, whether
violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations
of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter
and charm it, and thereby always remain music. |
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart |
Austrian composer & prodigy
(1756 - 1791) |
| It is in learning music that many youthful hearts learn to love. |
Ricard |

in the expression of the highest moral and spiritual ideas, there music is sublimely strong. |

certainly than a logical discourse. |

by one. |

B. F. Skinner, New Scientist, May 21, 1964 |
US psychologist (1904 - 1990) |
| Nature is not affected by finance.
If someone offered you ten thousand dollars to let them touch your eyeball without blinking, you would never collect the
money. At the very last moment, Nature would force you to blink your eye.
Nature will protect her own. |
Dick Gregory |
US comedian (1932 - ) |
| What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates
has eternity in it. |

to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to

talent is a species of vigor. |

| The true and solid peace of nations consists not in equality of arms, but
in mutual trust alone. |
Pope John XXIII |
| But peace does not rest in the
charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of all people. So let us not rest all our hopes on parchment
and on paper, let us strive to build peace, a desire for peace, a willingness
to work for peace in the hearts and minds of all of our people. I believe
that we can. I believe the problems of human destiny are not beyond the reach
of human beings. |
John F. Kennedy |
US Democratic politician (1917 -
1963) |
| Violence is unnecessary and costly. Peace is the only way. |

| Peace is the happy, natural state of man; war corruption, his disgrace. |
