AND
" To practice five things under all circumstances
constitutes
perfect virtue;
these five are
gravity,
generosity of soul,
sincerity,
earnestness,
and kindness. "
To care,
To be fair,
To be humble.
When a man cares he is unafraid,
When he is fair he leaves enough for others,
When he is humble he can grow;
Whereas if, like men of today,
he be bold without
caring,
Self indulgent without without sharing,
Self important without shame,
He is dead.
The invincible shield Of caring
Is a weapon from the sky
Against being dead."
BY ANOTHER GREAT TEACHER
LAO TZU
That is true knowledge.
-- Confucious
What we have to learn to do,
we learn by doing.
To feel that we can rest
on our achievements
is a dangerous fallacy.
Inner strength
can overcome anything
that occurs outside.
Even so the different forms of
The Seer Of All
flow toward the Spirit
and find there ..... final peace,
their
name and form disappear
and people speak only of Spirit.
If an intelligent man be associated
with a wise man
for
only one minute
he will soon
perceive the
truth,
as the tongue perceives
the taste of soup.
The Dhammapada (c. B.C. 300)
"This is the only world:
there is no other," they say;
and thus they go
from death
to death.
Polarity really means
the flowing of force
from a sphere
of high pressure
to a sphere of low pressure;
high and low
being always
relative terms.
Every sphere of energy needs
to receive the stimulus
of an influx of energy
at higher
pressure,
and to have an output
into a sphere of lower
pressure.
The source of all energy is
the Great Unmanifest,
and it makes its own way
down the levels,
changing its form
from
one to the other,
till it is finally
"earthed" in
matter.
The greatest minds
do not necessarily
ripen the quickest.
Lubbock (1834-1913)
The craze for
domination
is an incurable disease.
In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years
the Mississippi has
shortened itself
two hundred and forty-two miles.
Therefore ... in the Old Silurian
Period
the Mississippi River had to be upward
of one million three hundred thousand
miles long ...
Seven hundred and forty-two years from now
the Mississippi will be
only a mile and three-quarters long. ...
There is something fascinating about
science.
One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture
out of such a trifling
investment of fact.
nor temperate,
who considers pleasure
the highest good
and that his fate is
not a matter of
indifference
to the gods.
But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute,
you think it's two hours.

and no opinions so fastly mislead us

By leaving to the citizens
as much freedom of action and of being

rights of others,
the institutions render him truly a freeman.
He is left

Whoever understand this
