"Like a man traveling in foggy weather, those at some distance before him on the road he sees wrapped up in the fog, as well as those behind him, and also the people in the fields on each side, but near him all appears clear, though in truth he is as much in the fog as any of them."
-From his Autobiography, chapter 8, (written 1771-90); detailing Franklin's opinions about the delusions of sects.

"When the mind is silent, beyond weakness or non concentration, then
it can enter into a world which is far beyond the mind: the highest End."
~ Upanishads (c. B.C. 800)
In the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Kahlil Gibran.

Let's get one thing straight. Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let's get THAT straight. Crack is whack.

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity answered, “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
