A series of quotes...
Those who, relying upon themselves only, not looking for assistance to anyone besides themselves, it is they who will reach the top-most height. -- Buddha
Man is so made that whenever anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish. -- Jean de La Fontaine
"I have done my best." That is about all the philosophy of living that one needs.... Lin-yutang
It is wonderful to be in on the creation of something, see it used, and then walk away and smile at it. -- Lady Bird Johnson
Insights from the Dalai Lama
• To me there is no difference whether president, beggar or king.
• It seems to me that Western science and Eastern philosophy can join together to create a really complete and full-fledged human being. It is only in this way that man will emerge strengthened from his condition and become whole. What in fact interests me is what is beyond matter and awareness, what really is important and what makes us what we are.
• Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.
• I believe in humanity, and its level in a person is more important than his or her belief or faith. ¶ 6/27/2006 07:16:00 AM
