--TIME-- QUOTES TO LIVE BY To act and act wisely when the time for action comes, to wait and wait patiently when it is time for repose, put man in accord with the rising and falling tides (of affairs), so that with nature and law at his back, and truth and beneficence as his beacon light, he may accomplish wonders. Ignorance of this law results in periods of unreasoning enthusiasm on the one hand, and depression on the other. Man thus becomes the victim of the tides when he should be their Master. Helen Petrova Blavatsky
It is good to have and end to journey towards, but in the end it is the journey that matters. Le Guin
 PHILOSOPHY
All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions, Is called a philosopher. Ambrose Bilerce.
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." Einstein
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." Einstein
RELIGION
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of any holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days. Colossians 2:16
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again..." (John 10:17-18)
Jesus said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
(John 15:13)
OF LOVE
The more you love, the more you can love---And the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love . Robert Heinlein
I quench his thirst and submerge his Heart; he softens my voice and subdues My temper, at dawn I recite the rules of love upon His ears, and he embraces me longingly. Kahlil Gibran
Love is something eternal....The aspect may change, But not the essence. Vincent Van Gogh
OF LIFE
When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." Tecumseh, Shawnee
To dance, above all, is to enter into the motions of life. It is an action, a movement, a process. The dance of life is not so much a metaphor as a fact; to dance is to know oneself alone and to celebrate it." Sherman Paul
It is with the soul that we grasp the essence of another human being , not with the mind , not even with the heart ... " Henry Miller
