"All are needed by each one; Nothing..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze.”

“A determined man, by his very attitude and the tone of his voice, puts a stop to defeat, and begins to conquer.”

“I like a man who likes to see a fine barn as well as a good tragedy.”

“It is in everybody's interest to seek those [actions] that lead to happiness and avoid those which lead to suffering. And because our interests are inextricably linked, we are compelled to accept ethics as the indispensable interface between my desire to be happy and yours.”

“However capable and skillful an individual may be, left alone, he or she will not survive. When we are sick or very young or very old, we must depend on the support of others. There is no significant division between us and other people, because our basic natures are the same. If we wish to ensure everyone's peace and happiness, we need to cultivate a healthy respect for the diversity of our peoples and cultures, founded on an understanding of this fundamental sameness of all human beings.”

“The life of the enemy . Whoever lives for the sake of combating an enemy has an interest in the enemy's staying alive.”

“I like it that in many ways we are all the same.”

“Really, the fundamental, ultimate mystery -- the only thing you need to know to understand the deepest metaphysical secrets -- is this: that for every outside there is an inside and for every inside there is an outside, and although they are different, they go together.”

“Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret, and in exchange gain the Ocean.”
