"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." - A.Einstein

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed. For love is sufficient unto love. Think not you can direct the course of love; for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire, but to fullfill itself.
- Kahlil Gibran

"What is history but a fable agreed upon" - Napoleon

"By definition, human beings do not see or hear. I broke loose from definition."

"You would not be satisfied with any teacher, unless you are learning from the teacher within." - Samuel

The Universal Mind

Where the mind is fearless and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been split
Into narrow domestic walls;
Where words sprout from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving reaches its arms to fulfillment;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habits;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-expanding thought and action --
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my world awake!

--by Rabindranath Tagore

Belief

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher, his age or wisdom. But if after due examination and analysis, you find it to be kind, conducive to the benefit and welfare of all beings, then take that doctrine as your guide.

- Buddha (Kalama Sutra)

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” -Edmund Burke

Truth is a pathless land. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophic technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a fence of security - religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. These images are the cause of our problems, for they divide man from man.

-- J.Krishnamurthy

"If humanity is to pass through its present crisis on earth, it will be because a majority are doing their own thinking." - Buckminister Fuller
