- Hatred does not cease in this world by hating, but by not hating; this is an eternal truth.
- Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC), The Dhammapada
- Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.
- Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007), A Man without a Country
- Do not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.
- The Dhammapada (c. BC 300)
- Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
- We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
- Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC), The Dharmapada
- Do not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.
- Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC), The Dharmapada
- All the limitative Theorems of metamathematics and the theory of computation suggest that once the ability to represent your own structure has reached a certain critical point, that is the kiss of death: it guarantees that you can never represent yourself totally. Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, Church's Undecidability Theorem, Turing's Halting Problem, Turski's Truth Theorem-- all have the flavour of some ancient fairy tale which warns you that "To seek self- knowledge is to embark on a journey which . . . will always be incomplete, cannot be charted on a map, will never halt, cannot be described."
- Douglas R. Hofstadter
- It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior imapartiality.
- Arnold Bennett
- I have an existential map. It has "You are here" written all over it.
- Steven Wright (1955 - )
