School, politics, sports, and games train us to compete against others. True rewards — wealth, knowledge, love, fitness, and equanimity — come from ignoring others and improving ourselves.

For thousands of years humans were oppressed— as some of us still are— by the notion that the universe is a marionette whose strings are pulled by a god or gods, unseen and inscrutable. Then, 2,500 years ago, there was a glorious awakening in Ionia: on Samos and the other nearby Greek colonies that grew...

Human knowledge consists not only of libraries of parchment and ink – it is also comprised of the volumes of knowledge that are written on the human heart, chiselled on the human soul, and engraved on the human psyche.

Continued observations in clinical psychological practice lead almost inevitably to the conclusion that deeper and more fundamental than sexuality, deeper than the craving for social power, deeper even than the desire for possessions, there is a still more generalized and universal craving in the human make-up. It is the craving for knowledge of the right...

Knowledge is currency here….

History is the guess of old men, sometimes they get it wrong.

Knowledge workers train, sprint, rest, and re-assess. Inspiration is perishable – act on it immediately. Be impatient with actions but patient with results.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)

The choices she’s made have left her without choice.

It wasn’t science and technology that cause a slow progress, but collective knowledge of the society and market demands.

The true reality is love; it fills the gaps.

I have known many true connoisseurs, with excellent tastes that range across the humanities and the culinary arts–and they never fail to have a fatal effect on my self-esteem. When I find myself sitting at dinner next to someone who knows just as much about novels as I do but has somehow also found the...

The religious school she went to, growing up, Ms. Wright said how all the girls had to wear a scarf tied to cover their ears at all times. Based on the biblical idea that the Virgin Mary became pregnant when the Holy Spirit whispered in her ear. The idea that ears were vaginas. That, hearing...

Without love life is impossible.

In your love I dive to find the nectar of life.

Every call and every question has an answer and that is your love.

Shoot your enemies with the bullets of love, it will kill them instantly and forever.

No matter where you are, you are connected to me by a bridge and that is our love.

Love is an invisible net through which we touch and catch hearts, minds, and souls.

I am the love.I am the slave of love.I worship love.I adore unconditional love.I am the pure devotee of love.My heart and eyes are the symbols of love.Love has the inconceivable innumerable attribute.Love is the indivisible, infinite, and limitless truth.Love is the supreme with most dazzling splendor.Love is eternal, blissful, spiritual, and tender.

If you have the love, you have the light. Spread it around; let others have the delight.

Live as if you are the creator of your universe. Because you are.

If life is my way and nirvana is my destination, then which path should I take, religious or spiritual?

A country whose citizens do not read is already late because “reading” is just the first step to wisdom acquisition. Application of the learnt knowledge is the gateway to personal transformation. If you don’t read, you have not yet begun anything!

I’ve got nothing to do today except to drink the beauty of life.

So enjoy the beauty, feel the love, and live your life your own way.

Life is eternal but death is ephemeral and transitional.

There’s nothing more narcissistic than being sure that you are built in the image of an all-powerful Creator-God, and that same God answers your prayers, knows your name, and has a personal relationship with you.

But the world is out there, and it understands that the illusion of knowledge and freedom is not the same as the real thing. Eventually it will fade, and there are those who will do whatever it takes to make that happen sooner rather than later.

Where I am today, it is my current destination, I was preparing for this my whole life. Today’s decision and persistent action will take me my future destination.

Any school for free citizens must begin by teaching distrust, not trust. It must teach questioning, not acceptance of stock answers.

There are four important words that define your life: love, hope, happiness, and kindness.

Knowing it without understanding it is enough for one to be qualified a fool;Understanding without relative adherence, masters one in foolishness.

Don’t try to live your life but to dive in the joy of life.

Kindness is the supreme intelligence.

Life is a daring adventure, so suffering should be optional.

You settle for less, you get less.

Forms are vehicles and instruments, and vehicles and instruments cannot be called good or bad without context.

Not everything is understood the way it is presented and not everyone presents the way it is understood.

Despite all the sadness, violence and misery, I still believe in universal peace, goodness, and beauty of humanity.

No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.

All approaches to a study or an individual may start with a desire for attention. However they start, they must never end up in this manner.

What can we make of the inexpressible joy of children? It is a kind of gratitude, I think—the gratitude of the ten-year-old who wakes to her own energy and the brisk challenge of the world. You thought you knew the place and all its routines, but you see you hadn’t known. Whole stacks at the...

For women, men creates war, even though women are the symbols of love, peace, and harmony.

I will tell you why I became a philosopher. I became a philosopher because I wanted to be able to talk about many, many things, ideally with knowledge, but sometimes not quite the amount of knowledge that I would need if I were to be a specialist in them. It allows you to be many...

Be wonderful! Like a dog, love with all of your heart.

In the Light of your Wisdom, You Shine. In the Midst of your Truth, Your Faith is Evident. From inside your Spirit, You are Love.

The mind is the source of infinite power; to find it we have to mine it.

My intellect would wish for a clear-cut universe with no dim corners, but there are these cobwebs in the cosmos.

What gives you an edge AHEAD of every HEAD beside you is what your HEAD contains
