The Perennial Philosophy is expressed most succinctly in the Sanskrit formula, tat tvam asi ('That art thou'); the Atman, or immanent eternal Self, is one with Brahman, the Absolute Principle of all existence; and the last end of every human being, is to discover the fact for himself, to find out who he really is.

Horace Walpole

Just a minute, Cosmic Ordering can give you a whole lot more ... a whole lifetime of more.

Stephen Richards

Honesty is the most single most important factor having a direct bearing on the final success of an individual, corporation, or product.
