The moment you become miserly you are closed to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing. The moment you start clinging to things, you have missed the target--you have missed. Because things are not the target, you, your innermost being, is the target--not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you; not much money, but a rich you; not many things, but an open being, available to millions of things.

It's so easy for us to misperceive and see the things in others that we want to see. And, when we're wrong, and often we're dead wrong, we miss the truth.

Kevin Spacey

Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work.

George Halas

So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy.
