Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death. But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.

Austin Farrar

Lewis Mumford

At some thoughts one stands perplexed - especially at the sight of men's sin - and wonders whether one should use force or humble love. Always decide to use humble love. If you resolve on that, once and for all, you may subdue the whole world. Loving humility is marvelously strong, the strongest of all things, and there is nothing else like it.

I mean, is there a chance for me? To have another life after this, a better one?

Cassandra Clare

I have been breaking silence these twenty-three years and have hardly made a rent in it.

Henry David Thoreau

Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.
