Either we shall find what it is we are seeking or at least we shall free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know.

Plato

Without knowledge action is useless and knowledge without action is futile.

Abu Bakr

In every parting there is an image of death.

George Eliot

Love, and do what you like.

Saint Augustine

When I grew up we had gym at school, two or three dance classes after school, ice skating lessons, and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren't glued to computers because they didn't exist, so being active was all we knew.

Lisa Loeb

Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall. Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands all alone. Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring.

William Alexander
