"Almighty God hath created the mind free. All attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens…are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion…No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship or ministry or shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but all men shall be free to profess and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion. I know but one code of morality for men whether acting singly or collectively.
Thomas Jefferson
“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”
― Joseph Campbell
As long as you have certain desires about how it ought to be you can't see how it is.

I have found that when you are deeply troubled, there are things you get from the silent devoted companionship of a dog that you can get from no other source.
- Doris Day
The inspiration you seek is already within you.
Be silent and listen.
The heart surrenders everything to the moment.
The mind judges and holds back.
Simple Truth
"That which you give to another will become your own sustenance;
if you light a lamp for another, your own way will be lit."
~Nichiren
"We work on ourselves in order to help others, but also we help others in order to work on ourselves."
~Pema Chodron
"I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world’s deepest inequities … on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their humanity."
~ Bill Gates, 2007 Harvard Commencement
