| We should, if possible, prove a teacher to posterity, instead of being the pupil of by-gone generations. More shall come after us than have gone before; the world is not yet middle-aged. |

| Quote of the moment |
| True practitioners are unaffected by external pressures and their own emotions; they are free to secure the temporary and ultimate benefits of both themselves and others. They remain independent, fear nothing, and are never at odds with themselves. Always peaceful, they are friendly with all, and everything they say is helpful. Wherever we go, let us be humble and avoid being noisy or bossy. Let us not hurt other people's feelings or cause them to act negatively. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, August 10, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Chapter 3 : prudence in speech 01 Do not start a quarrel with a hot-mouthed man, 02 nor needle him with words. 03 Pause before an intruder, bend before an attacker, 04 sleep (on it) before speaking. 05 A storm that bursts like fire in straw, 06 such is the heated man in his hour. 07 Withdraw from him, leave him alone. 08 The god knows how to answer him. 09 If You make your life with these (words) in your heart, 10 Your children will observe them. |

| Quote of the moment |
| He did not see that there is no such thing as a standard for the creative spirit; that no one great book must ever be separately regarded, and permitted to domineer with its own uniqueness upon the creative mind; but that all existing great works must be federated in the fancy; and so regarded as a miscellaneous and Pantheistic whole; and then,—without at all dictating to his own mind, or unduly biasing it any way,—thus combined, they would prove simply an exhilarative and provocative to him. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Pierre bk. XXI (1852), The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 7, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1971). ~ |
