...of Nature

Look at the optimism of Nature. Nothing can stop it. Only the ego makes humans pessimistic, and this causes suffering. ~Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi Devi)

Spring

Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day. ~W. Earl Hall

Own Feelings

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict. ~Jim Morrison

Teaching

Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.

~Colleen Wilcox


Foolishness

Each day, and the living of it, has to be a conscious creation in which discipline and order are relieved with some play and pure foolishness. ~May Sarton
