"Being a friend is to like a person for who they are, even the parts you don't understand. The reasons you like them makes the things you don't understand unimportant. You don't have to understand, or do the same, or live their lives for them. If you truly care for them, then you want them to be who they are; that was why you liked them in the first place."
In the end its not the words of our enemies we remember but the silence of our friends
Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
You cannot achieve a new goal by applying the same level of thinking that got you where you are today.
We should take care not to make intellect our god. It has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. It cannot lead, it can only serve.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
