Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.

Michel Foucault

Aging happy and well, instead of sad and sick, is at least under some personal control. We have considerable control over our weight, our exercise, our education, and our abuse of cigarettes and alcohol. With hard work and/or therapy, our relationships with our spouses and our coping styles can be changed for the better. A successful old age may lie not so much in our stars and genes as in ourselves.

George Vaillant

What you don't see with your eyes, don't witness with your mouth.

Yiddish Proverb

Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.

Baruch Spinoza
