Meister Eckhart, from "The Sermons" in Meister Eckhart.

It is in the stillness, in the silence, that the word of God is to be heard. There is no better avenue of approach to this Word than through stillness, through silence. It is to be heard there as it is - in that unself-consciousness, for when one is aware of nothing, that word is imparted to him and clearly revealed.

Martin Luther King, Jr.


Alfred Jarry

"God is the shortest distance from zero to infinity."

The Dalai Lama

"Understand that a self-centered attitude is the source of all suffering, and concern for others is the source of all happiness and goodness."

Stephen Vincent Benet Thought

"Our earth is but a small star in a great universe. Yet of it we can make, if we choose, a planet unvexxed by war, untroubled by hunger or fear, undivided by senseless distinctions of race, color or theory."

Ralph Marston

Have you noticed how beautiful the world is today? Have you seen some of the fresh, new opportunities that are coming to life?
Have you remembered today what a unique and wonderful blessing it is to be alive? Can you feel the richness that lives in this very moment?

Do you understand how truly fortunate you are to be you? Can you see the magnificent possibilities that are close enough to touch?

Do you realize the immense value that your thoughts and actions are able to create? Do you feel the power of your own special purpose?

This is not just any day. It is the day that you now have to work with, and a day in which you can accomplish so very much.

Open yourself to the best possibilities. This day is now yours to fulfill.

Buckminster Fuller Thought

"Whether humanity is to continue and prosper on spaceship Earth depends entirely on the integrity of the human individuals and not on the political and economic systems. The cosmic question has been asked, are humans a worthwhile invention?"

Great Man Theory

Leaders are born and not made.

Great leaders will arise when there is a great need.

Early research on leadership was based on the the study of people who were already great leaders. These people were often from the aristocracy, as few from lower classes had the opportunity to lead. This contributed to the notion that leadership had something to do with breeding.
The idea of the Great Man also strayed into the mythic domain, with notions that in times of need, a Great Man would arise, almost by magic. This was easy to verify, by pointing to people such as Eisenhower and Churchill, let alone those further back along the timeline, even to Jesus, Moses, Mohammed and the Buddah.
