Thought for the Day
  • From the time of Kepler to that of Newton, and from Newton to Hartley, not only all things in external nature, but the subtlest mysteries of life and organization, and even of the intellect and moral being, were conjured within the magic circle of mathematical formulae. –Samuel Taylor Coleridge

  • One of the greatest obstacles to mental progress is a lack of specific goals which are established in such a manner that they become a regular stairway of effort where one easy activity leads to another easy effort which, when continued over a period of time, allows the ascension of the mind from the simple to the complex and from the physical through the mental to the spiritual. –Kabalarian Teachings

  • There is more to giving than just doing. It is being: being happy, being principled, being considerate and understanding, being a friend in all ways. And that kind of giving comes from within, because it is the outer expression of Universal Love. –Kabalarian Teachings

  • I would rather be ashes than dust; I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot; I would rather be in a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow than in a sleepy and permanent planet; the proper function of man is to live, not to exist; I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them; I shall USE my time. –Jack London
