Canada is currently the only major industrialized country in the world that does not allow any private administration of health care services that are provided by the public system.

Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.

Wayne Dyer

The great advance of personal computers was not the computing power per se but the fact that it brought it right to your face, that you had control over it, that were confronted with it and could steer it.

Kevin Kelly

Whatever spiteful fools may say, Each jealous ranting yelper, No woman ever went astray, Without a man to help her

Abraham Lincoln

The secret is to always let the other man have your way.

Claiborne Pell

Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness.

LaoTzu

As an artist, a man has no home in Europe save in Paris.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Such power there is in clear-eyed self-restraint.

James Russell Lowell

I think my biggest achievement is that after going through a rather difficult time, I consider myself comparatively sane. I'm proud of that.

Jacqueline KennedyOnassis, Ameri

Fanatics can justify practically any atrocity to themselves. The more untenable their position becomes, the harder they hold to it, and the worse the things they are willing to do to support it.

Mercedes Lackey

There has never been a just [war], never an honorable one--on the part of the instigator of the war. I can see a million years ahead, and this rule will never change in so many as half a dozen instances. The loud little handful--as usual--will shout for the war. The pulpit will--warily and cautiously--object--at first; the great, big, dull bulk of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes and try to make out why there should be a war, and will say, earnestly and indignantly, 'It is unjust and dishonorable, and there is no necessity for it.' Then the handful will shout louder. A few fair men on the other side will argue and reason against the war with speech and pen, and at first will have a hearing and be applauded; but it will not last long; those others will outshout them, and presently the anti-war audiences will thin out and lose popularity. Before long you will see this curious thing: the speakers stoned from the platform, and free speech strangled by hordes of furious men who in their secret hearts are still at one with those stoned speakers--as earlier--but do not dare say so. And now the whole nation--pulpit and all--will take up the war-cry, and shout itself hoarse, and mob any honest man who ventures to open his mouth; and presently such mouths will cease to open. Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.

Mark Twain

Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.

Warren Buffett

The high note is not the only thing.
