"Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The sense organs, which are limited in scope and ability, randomly gather information. This partial information is arranged into judgments, which are based on previous judgments, which are usually based on someone else's foolish ideas. These false concepts and ideas are then stored in a highly selective memory system.”

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”

“The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die.”

“In a general view, there are few conquests that repay the charge of making them, and mankind are pretty well convinced that it can never be worth their while to go to war for profit's sake. If they are made war upon, their country invaded, or their existence at stake, it is their duty to defend and preserve themselves, but in every other light, and from every other cause, is war inglorious and detestable.”

“The application of collective guilt, running from one generation to another, is a dangerous doctrine which would leave few modern nations unscathed.”

“[nonviolence] seeks to secure moral ends through moral means.”

“Courage, hard work, self-mastery, and intelligent effort are all essential to successful life.”

“Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.”

“Our virtues are voluntary (and in fact we are in a sense ourselves partly the cause of our moral dispositions, and it is our having a certain character that makes us set up an end of a certain kind), it follows that our vices are voluntary also; they are voluntary in the same manner as our virtues.”
