"The divine is most present when I myself am most absent." -- Rabbi Pinhas of Koretz
"Community is everything. Who can exist in isolation? Yet, we isolate ourselves. How can
anyone get "there" without everyone else, since we are all inseparably interconnected? Each of
us is a strand of the web of interbeing; harm or help any single strand, and the entire fabric of
being is affected." -- Tales of the Hasidim
"Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Can we ourselves usher in the kingdom of heaven? Why wait in the wings? Who and what are we waiting for? Let's assume universal responsibility. Rabbi Hillel said, almost two thousand years ago: "If I am not for myself, who will be? And if I am only for myself, what am I? If not you, who? And if not now, when?" -- Tales of the Hasidim
"It was the 'Selishter Rebbe" who told me one day: 'Be careful with words, they're dangerous. Be wary of them. They beget either demons or angels. It's up to you to give life to one or the other. Be careful, I tell you, nothing is as dangerous as giving free rein to words.' " -- Elie Wiesel's book "Legends of Our Time"
"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able
to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing
superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the
conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest,
insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to
change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very
apt to spread discontent among those who are." -- H.L. Mencken
[Smart Set magazine, December 1919]
"Posterity -- you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it."-- John Quincy Adams "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." -- George Bernard Shaw I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. -- Thomas Jefferson ![[ It's Rational! ]](http://www.saintaardvarkthecarpeted.com/images/ayn_seal_of_approval_button.jpg)
"Every child is an artist. "The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth." -- Goethe "Great spirits will always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds." -- Albert Einstein |

It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly. -- Bertrand Russell |
