"I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,

- If you were an animal what would it be? why?
- I AM AN ANIMAL. Do you mean other than Homo sapien? Dolphin - smart, playful, fast, you get to live in the water and be near the top of the food chain for that eco system. Works for me.
- Favorite Quote(s)
- ...and this secret did Life itself utter to me: 'Behold', said Life 'I am whatever must surpass itself.' (Nietzsche, ZARATHUSTRA)
The man of large mind abides in the thick not the thin, in the fruit not the flower.
To speak little is to be natural.
(Lao Tzu, circa 575 B.C.)
Pride is certainly the most difficlut sin to overcome. For if I were truly humble I woulde certainly take pride in my humility. (B. Franklin)
If a traveler does not meet anyone who is his better, or equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey; there is no companionship with a fool. (The Buddha)
The three hundred verses of The Odes may be summed up in a single sentence, "Think no evil." (Confucius)
Let not a fool think lightly of the bad that he does saying it will not come nigh unto me. For as a bowl can become full of water by one water drop at a time so to a fool will become full of evil though he gather it little by little
Let not the wise man think lightly of the good that he does saying it will not come nigh unto me. For as a bowl can become full of water by one water drop at a time so the wise man becomes full of good though he gather little by little. (Teachings of the Compassionate Buddha)
At the beginning, mankind and the obligation of selfless service were created together. "Through selfless service you will always be fruitful and find the fulfillment of your desires": this is the promise of the Creator. (The Bhagavad Gita - trans.The Song of the Lord)
As a persons acts, so he becomes in life. Those who do good become good; those who do harm become evil. Good deeds make one pure; bad deeds make one impure. So we are said to be what our desire is. As our desire is, so is our will. As our will is so are our acts. As we act so we become. (Brihadaranayaka Upanishad - trans. The Forest of Wisdom)
You should never love your life so greatly that you become afraid to live it. (Perry Daughtry-right after jumping out of a perfectly good airplane)
Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by government, which we might expect to suffer in a country without government, our calamities is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. (Thomas Payne Common Sense)
...the common and continual mischief of the spirit of Party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise People to discourage and restrain it. It serves to distract the Public Councils and enfeeble the Public administration. It agitates the Community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country, are subjected to the policy and will of another. There is an opinion that parties in the free countries are useful\ful checks upon the Administration of the Government and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty.
This within certain limits is probably true, and in Governments of a Monarchical cast Patriotism may look with endulgence, if not with favour, upon the spirit if party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being the constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force of public opinion, to mitigate it. A fire not to be quenched; it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into flame, lest instead of warming it should consume. (George Washington discussing the danger of political parties in his Farewell Address, September 19, 1796)
