Hey everyone.

Here's two of my favorite quotes I wanted to share, I hope you enjoy. Cheers!

"In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth."
- Mahatma Gandhi

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”
- Mark Jenkins

When you and your friend are running from a tiger, you don't have to be faster then the tiger, just be faster then your friend.

go into the world and do well. but more importantly, go into the world and do good.

I didn't have time to read all of the previous submissions yet, so if these have already been stated, I apologize for the redundancy:

Two quotations from Henry David Thoreau that I particularly like:

1. "As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path we walk and walk again. To make a deep mental path we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

2. "Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.

"Materialistic democracy beckons every man to make himself a king; republican citizenship incites every man to be a knight."

-WF Buckley

"Solutions are not the answer."

-Nixon

"Wherever there is a conflict between human rights and property rights, human rights must prevail"

-A. Lincoln

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are"

In a world that is constantly changing, there is no one subject or set of subjects that will serve you for the foreseeable future, let alone for the rest of your life. The most important skill to acquire now is learning how to learn. -John Naisbitt

"The sun's not yellow, its chicken"

Bob Dylan

Out of all the rocks in the our vast universe, ours is the one that is blessed in a way like no other rock, for our earth gives fourth life, in which that life is molded into beauty, in which that beauty dies off and creates an everlasting cycle

There are lots of ways of being miserable, but there's only one way of being comfortable, and that is to stop running round after happiness. If you make up your mind not to be happy there's no reason why you shouldn't have a fairly good time.

God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

one traveling without funds
need not fear thieves."

Thomas Jefferson ->
"Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."

"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power." --Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820. ME 15:278

"Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:318

"The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816. ME 14:490

Sending Love the Day after the election!

"O happy love! where love like this is
found!
O heart-felt raptures! bliss beyond compare!
I've paced much this weary, mortal round,
And sage experience bids me this declare: -
If Heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure
spare,
One cordial in this melancholy vale,
'Tis when a youthful, loving, modest pair,
In 'other's arms, breathe out the tender tale
Beneath the milk-white thorn that scents
the ev'ning gale." - Robert Burns 1786

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
-Albert Einstein

"Now culture being a social product, I firmly believe that any work of art should have a social function to beautify, to glorify, to dignify man... Since any social system is forced to change to another by concrete economic forces, its art changes also to be recharged, reshaped, and revitalized by the new conditions... The making of a genuine artist or writer is not mysterious. It is not
the work of Divine Providence. Social conditions, history, and the people's struggle are the factors behind it."
--Carlos Bulosan, "The Writer as Worker" January 17, 1955
