"You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth... Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." -- Kahlil Gibran“We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.” -- Martin Luther King Jr. "Visionary ecstasy releases energies which are like the energies of sex - uncaring for anything except creation." -- Frank Herbert"I will make amends to my children for being the child of my fathers: and to all the future - for this present." -- Friedrich Nietzsche"We shall have an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all." -- Communist Manifesto"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt"The present is theirs; the future, for which I really work, is mine." -- Nikola Tesla
