'There's been an accident,' they said,

'Your servant's cut in half; he's dead!'

'Indeed!' said Mr Jones, 'and please,

Send me the half that's got my keys.'

Harry Graham

Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things.

Dogen Zenji (1200-1253)

Patience: To wait with certainity; the art of allowing life to carry you

Chinese proverb

To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.

Pearl S Buck

The world is not a dream, but a reality, of which we are the chief part, and in which we must be up and doing something... Come out into the world about you, be it either wide or limited. Sympathize, not in thought only, but in action, with all about you. Make yourself known and felt for something that would be loved and missed, in twenty thousand little ways, if you were to die; then your life will be a happy one, believe me.

Charles Dickens
