We have come tardily to the tremendous task of cleaning up our environment. We should have moved with similar zeal at least a decade ago. But no purpose is served by post-mortems. With visionary zeal but the greatest realism, we must now address ourselves to the vast problems that confront us.

There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless.

W. Somerset Maugham

Thought is a process of exaggeration. The refusal to exaggerate is not infrequently an alibi for the disinclination to think or praise.

Eric Hoffer

Out of sight, out of mind. The absent are always in the wrong.

Thomas Kempis

No gentleman ever discusses any relationship with a lady.

Keith Miller

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear, and the blind can read

Mark Twain

We live in a diverse society - in fact, a diverse world - and we must learn to live in peace and with respect for each other.

Stan Lee

Since our inner experiences consist of reproductions and combinations of sensory impressions, the concept of a soul without a body seems to me to be empty and devoid of meaning.

Kahlil Gibran

Put the world's greatest philosopher on a plank that is wider than need be; if there is a precipice below, although his reason may convince him that he is safe, his imagination will prevail.

Blaise Pascal

The purpose of empowerment is to urge you towards freedom, to help each of you to break free of all limitations. It is that freedom that will give you eternal happiness and finally connect you with the unconditional realization of TRUTH.

Steve Maraboli

Art is nature speeded up and God slowed down.

Malcolm De Chazal

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

Dalai Lama XIV

In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better.

Edward de Bono
