"Human beings have Love for one another..." - Quote by Plato

“It is impossible to conceive of many without one.”

“What the expression is intended to mean, I think, is that there is a better and a worse element in the character of each individual, and that when the naturally better element controls the worse then the man is said to be "master of himself", as a term of praise. But when - as a result of bad upbringing or bad company one s better element is overpowered by the numerical superiority of one s worse impulses, then one is criticized for not being master of oneself and for lack of self control.”

“Be kind, for everyone is having a hard battle.”

“Loving, hating, having expectations: all these are attachments. Attachment prevents the growth of one's true being.”

“Though I play at the edges of knowing, truly I know our part is not knowing, but looking, and touching, and loving”

“All love's pleasure shall not match its woe.”

“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”

“Compassion is something we can count on. Even if we face economic problems and our fortunes decline, we can still share our compassion with our fellow human beings. National and global economies are subject to many ups and downs, but through them all we can retain a compassionate attitude that will carry us through.”

“Facts, at any rate, could not be kept hidden. They could be tracked down by inquiry, they could be squeezed out of you by torture. But if the object was not to stay alive but to stay human, what difference did it ultimately make? They could not alter your feelings, for that matter you could not alter them yourself, even if you wanted to. They could lay bare in the utmost detail everything that you had done or said or thought; but the inner heart, whose workings were mysterious even to yourself, remained impregnable.”
