Bill Nye

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Steve Jobs

Truth with compassion is love
Truth without love is violence
Love without truth is enabling

Freedom Quotes and Proverbs

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
It may take time to develop your core heart potential, but as you uncover a deeper connection with the power of the heart, you'll find more appreciation, love, and forgiveness at its core. New freedom will come as you clean out old mind-sets, hurts, pains , and resistances.

David McArthur and Bruce McArthur, The Intelligent Heart

Out of love and care for yourself, send your love and compassion to your hurt, then forgive. It is the door to your freedom.

You deserve the fun, the joy, the freedom, and the pure goodness that flows through the experience of love that indwells you... The choice is yours.

A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.
Bill Cosby

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

One measure of leadership is the calibre of people who choose to follow you.

I will take this one with me, someone I know needs it more than I.

Thomas Merton
We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result, men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they have—for their usefulness.

~ I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: ‘The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that’s fair.’ In these words he epitomized the history of the human race. ~
Bertrand Russell

Practical life teaches us that people may differ and that both may be wrong: it also teaches us that people may differ and both be right. Anchor yourself fast in the latter faith, or the former will sweep your heart away. ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. ~Thomas à Kempis, Imitation of Christ, c.1420

“Hypocrites kick with their hind feet while licking with their tongues” Russian proverb

“We all have private ails. The troublemakers are they who need public cures for their private ails.”

The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.
