"Some glory in their birth , some..." - Quote by William Shakespeare
Some glory in their birth , some in their skill , Some in their wealth , some in their bodies' force , Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill; Some in their hawks and hounds , some in their horse ; And every humor hath his adjunct pleasure , Wherein it finds a joy above the rest .

More on Pride
“Pride works from within; it is the direct appreciation of oneself.”
“The spirit of the South Atlantic was the spirit of Britain at her best. It has been said that we surprised the world, that British patriotism was rediscovered in those spring days. It was never really lost. But it would be no bad thing if the feeling that swept the country then were to continue to inspire us. For if there was any doubt about the determination of the British people it was removed by the men and women who, a few months ago, brought a renewed sense of pride and self-respect to our country.”
“All those who try to go it sole alone, Too proud to be beholden for relief, Are absolutely sure to come to grief.”
More on Joy
“The Deadheads are doing the dance of life and this I would say is the answer to the atom bomb.”
“One may gain political and social independence, but if one is a slave to his passions and desires, one cannot feel the pure joy of real freedom”
“The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not “the thinker.” The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter – beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace – arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.”
