Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Be true to yourself and watch the whole world change

Saint Augustine

Hate is like taking poison and hoping the other man dies

“Six things the Lord hateth…

…and seven that are an abomination unto Him”:

1 A proud look
2 A lying tongue
3 Hands that shed innocent blood
4 A heart that devises wicked plots
5 Feet that are swift to run into mischief
6 A deceitful witness that uttereth lies
7 Him that soweth discord among brethren

Albert Einstein

Reality is merely an illusion albeit a very persistent one.

Anyone who becomes seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that there is a spirit manifest in the laws of the universe, a spirit vastly superior to that of man.

Edward Snowden

“…and I’m more willing to risk imprisonment, or any other negative outcome personally, than I am willing to risk the curtailment of my intellectual freedom and that of those around me whom I care for equally as I do for myself. And again, that’s not to say that I’m self-sacrificing, because it gives me – I feel good in my human experience to know that I can contribute to the good of others.”

George Orwell

Truth is treason in the Empire of Lies

Not only Common Law – it’s common sense

Without a victim, there can be no crime

The Sound of Sunrise

About the music of the spheres
It doesn’t reach me through my ears
It comes adrift the countless years
Kali the dismal shadow clears

Mirror to the once great USA

Gandhi’s Seven Deadly Sins:

Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Science without humanity
Knowledge without character
Politics without principle
Commerce without morality
Worship without sacrifice
