Leonardo DaVinci

Dorothee Sölle, The Silent Cry:

Martin Luther King, Jr.

A man's character is his guardian divinity.

Heraclitus

The pursuit of truth will set you free even if you never catch up with it.

Clarence Darrow

George M. Humphrey

To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
