This Law -- whether Conscious or Unconscious --predestines nothing and no one. It exists from and in Eternity, truly, for it is ETERNITY itself; and as such, since no act can be co-equal with eternity, it cannot be said to act, for it is ACTION itself...Karma creates nothing, nor does it design. It is man who plans and creates causes, and Karmic law adjusts the effects; which adjustment is not an act, but universal harmony, tending ever to resume its original position.

Symbols are the imaginative signposts of life.

The destiny of any nation at any given time depends on the opinions of its young men under five-and-twenty

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

Mahatma Gandhi

Sometimes God writes straightforward in twisted lines.

Gloria Trevi

Dreaming or awake, we perceive only events that have meaning to us.

Jane Roberts

The party in power, like Jonah's gourd, grew up quickly, and will quickly fall.

Davy Crockett

We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.

Blaise Pascal

We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.

Jacques Yves Cousteau

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.published in the collection The Wind Among the Reeds and quoted in the movie Equilibrium (2002)

William Butler Yeats, He wishes

Bod said, I want to see life. I want to hold it in my hands. I want to leave a footprint on the sand of a desert island. I want to play football with people. I want, he said, and then he paused, and thought. I want everything.

Neil Gaiman

Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.

Aldous Huxley

From dear, dear Gloria Swanson, I learned how to live long, happy and free of health problems. I owe her my life.

Dirk Benedict
