We're all the same being and that's the
problem - we can only move as fast as we call can move... You can hear his
message only as purely as I am pure. That's the way it boils down - I can
resonate with you in the highest place I am. So: I can do nothing for you
but work on myself... You can do nothing for me but work on yourself!
Ram Dass, from Remember, Be Here Now
Small acts, when multiplied by millions of
people, can transform the world.
~H. Zinn
If you feed the hungry from your own plenty,
and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light will be like the dawn
out of darkness, and your gloom shall be like the noonday.
~Isaiah 58.10
Everything will be okay in the end. If
it's not okay, it's not the end.

Once you learn how to die, you learn how to
live. Most of us walk around as if we're sleepwalking. We really
don't experience the world fully, because we're half-asleep, doing things we
automatically think we have to do. [When you face death], you strip away
all that stuff and you focus on the essentials. When you realize you are
going to die, you see everything much differently.
~Morrie, from "Tuesdays with Morrie," by
Mitch Albom
First they ignore you, then they laugh at
you, then they fight you, then you win!
~Ghandi
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell
where his influence stops.
~Henry Adams
In the end, we will conserve only what we
love, we will love only what we understand, we will understand only what we are
taught.
~Baba Dioum, conservationist
Here is my secret. It's quite simple: one sees clearly only
with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, from "The Little Prince"
What appears to be coming at you, may be coming from
you.
~unknown
A
journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans,
safeguards, policies and coercion are fruitless. We find after years
of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.
~John Steinbeck (1902-1968), American author
Don't
let 'em; go get 'em.
~Bean
Traveling this year will bring your life into greater perspective.
