Ascetics and fakirs come to mitigate human suffering to heal us and lead us on the path. They put up with criticism they go through many worldly trials. Some of them have even become martyrs for our sake. But they have done all this with a smile and with gratitude to God. Hence sacrifice is a great virtue.

Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.

Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, Oc

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Philo

Why are you worrying about You-Know-Who? You should be worrying about You-Know-Poo- the constipation sensation that's gripping the nation!

Disagreement produces debate but dissent produces dissension. Dissent (which come from the Latin, dis and sentire) means originally to feel apart from others. People who disagree have an argument, but people who dissent have a quarrel. People may disagree and both may count themselves in the majority. But a person who dissents is by definition in a minority. A liberal society thrives on disagreement but is killed by dissension. Disagreement is the life blood of democracy, dissension is its cancer.

Daniel J. Boorstin

I believe that music is a force in itself. It is there and it needs an outlet, a medium. In a way, we are just the medium.

Maynard James Keenan

Directing is a more pragmatic experience, where you have to deal with the restrictions of time and money that force you to make certain decisions you don't have to make when you're writing.

Charlie Kaufman

Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.

Rumi

Beware of your habits. The better they are the more surely they will be your undoing.

Holbrook Jackson, Platitudes in

It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited.

Lewis B. Smedes

For the first half of geological time our ancestors were bacteria. Most creatures still are bacteria, and each one of our trillions of cells is a colony of bacteria.

Richard Dawkins

It is the eye of other people that ruin us. If I were blind I would want, neither fine clothes, fine houses or fine furniture.

Benjamin Franklin

Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.
