| And tell me this: of all the roads you know, / Which is the quickest way to get to Hades? / I want one not too warm, nor yet too cold. |

| If you rely on someone who has lower qualities than yourself, that will lead to your degeneration; if you rely on someone who has qualities similar to yourself, you will stay where you are; and if you rely on someone who has better qualities than yourself, that will help you to achieve sublime status. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, July 12, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Consciousness and revolt, these rejections are the contrary of renunciation. Everything that is indomitable and passionate in a human heart quickens them, on the contrary, with its own life. |
| ~ The Myth of Sisyphus, An Absurd Reasoning, Absurd Freedom, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~ |

| "The best way would be to steal Baby Roo and hide him, and then when Kanga says, `Where's Baby Roo?' we say, `_Aha!_'" "_Aha!_" said Pooh, practising. "_Aha! _Aha!_ ... Of course," he went on, "we could say `Aha!' even if we hadn't stolen Baby Roo." |

| Quote of the moment |
| "When we were little," the Mock Turtle went on at last, more calmly, though still sobbing a little now and then, "we went to school in the sea. The master was an old Turtle---we used to call him Tortoise---" "Why did you call him Tortoise, if he wasn't one?" Alice asked. "We called him Tortoise because he taught us," said the Mock Turtle angrily. "Really you are very dull!" |

| Quote of the moment |
| Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of ... every industrial area in the whole country. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. FDR Speaks authorized edition of speeches, 1933-1945 (recordings of Franklin Roosevelt’s public addresses), Boston campaign speech (Oct. 30, 1940), ed. Henry Steele Commager, Introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt, Washington Records, Inc. (1960). The President was immensely proud of the farm subsidy program. He considered himself a farmer by virtue of his tree farm at the family estate, Springwood, and he was convinced that the decline of purchasing power of American farmers between 1920 and 1932 was a major contributing cause of the Depression. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| On the subject of love and marriage, my simple opinion is that making love is all right, but for marriage, don't hurry, be cautious. Make sure you will remain together forever, at least for this whole life. That is important, for if you marry hurriedly without understanding well what you are doing, then after a month or after a year, trouble starts and you will be seeking divorce. From a legal viewpoint divorce is possible, and without children maybe it is acceptable, but with children, it is not. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, March 3, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
