Quote of the moment
The merit of the founders of our Republics lies in the more accurate views and the practical applications of the doctrines [of self-government]. The rights of man as the foundation of just Government had been long understood; but the superstructures projected had been sadly defective.

Quote of the moment
The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life.
~ The Path to Tranquility, May 1, 14th Dalai Lama ~

Quote of the moment
For my part I love sleepy fellows, and the more ignorant the better. Damn your wide-awake and knowing chaps. As for sleepiness, it is one of the noblest qualities of humanity. There is something sociable about it, too. Think of those sensible & sociable millions of good fellows all taking a good long friendly snooze together, under the sod—no quarrels, no imaginary grievances, no envies, heart-burnings, & thinking how much better that other chap is off—none of this: but all equally free-&-easy, they sleep away & reel off their nine knots an hour, in perfect amity.
~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Letter, May 25, 1862, to his brother, Thomas Melville. Correspondence, vol. 14, The Writings of Herman Melville, ed. Lynn Horth (1993). ~
