Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.

Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.

It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder.

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
