"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'universe', a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest
- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affectation for a few people near us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."


Albert Einstein



 




"Man's law changes with his understanding of man. Only the laws of the spirit remain always the same."


Native American (Crow)Saying




 



"Do not look upon this world with fear and loathing. Bravely face whatever the gods offer."


Morihei Ueshiba



 
"The Supreme Way is not difficult
If only you do not pick and choose.
Neither love nor hate,
And you will clearly understand.
Be off by a hair,
And you are as far apart as heaven from earth."


Master Sheng Yen
