I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.

All human wisdom works and has worries and grief as reward.

Johann Georg Hamann

Today's science thinks too primitively; indeed it could be said that its thinking is an octave too low. It has still not ventured far enough into the realm of energy, and its attitude has remained development was necessary, for how else should a misguided humanity perceive the true interdependencies? Without doubt, therefore, there is a definite intention to teach young people upside-down methods of working with which they have to miss-earn their daily bread. That is to say, instead of moving forwards, they go backwards all the more rapidly in step with the improvements in the contrary methods of motion. For only thus can today's teaching principles flourish.

Viktor Schauberger

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.

Clifton Paul Fadiman

The photograph reverses the purpose of travel, which until now had been to encounter the strange and unfamiliar.

Marshall McLuhan

The reason women don't play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit in public.

Phyllis Diller

My God is love and sweetly suffers all.

Sri Aurobindo

I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.

David Hobson

Peace is the one condition of survival in this nuclear age.

Adlai Stevenson

Follow your heart. Just don't get lost.

Ilsa J. Bick

Indecision and delays are the parents of failure.

George Canning

We learned to be patient observers like the owl. We learned cleverness from the crow, and courage from the jay, who will attack an owl ten times its size to drive it off its territory. But above all of them ranked the chickadee because of its indomitable spirit.

Tom Brown, Jr.

At least three times every day take a moment and ask yourself what is really important. Have the wisdom and the courage to build your life around your answer.
