Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give - pleasure, possessions, power - but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy.

The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer... form the great body of the people of the United States, they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.

So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs.

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

Miles Davis

Consider your breed; you were not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowledge.

Dante Alighieri

He who has attained the freedom of reason to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth - and not even as a traveler towards a final goal, for there is no such thing. But he certainly wants to observe and keep his eyes open to whatever actually happens in the world; therefore he cannot attach his heart too firmly to anything individual; he must have in himself something wandering that takes pleasure in change and transitoriness.

Friedrich Nietzsche

A sin is something which is not necessary.

George Gurdjieff

You who speak languages, you are such liars.

Orson Scott Card
