From the lips of George Shrub, wisest of the wisened.

"It's a time of sorrow and sadness when we lose a loss of life."—Washington, D.C., Dec. 21, 2004.

 

[ChrisP]

But Seriously:

If those who are excellent find no preferment,
The people will cease to contend for promotion.
If goods that are hard to obtain are not favored,
The people will cease to turn robbers or bandits.
If things much desired are kept under cover,
Disturbance will cease in the minds of the people.

[almifkhar]

the art of peace is medicine for a sick world. there is evil and disorder in the world because people have forgotten that all things emanate from one source. return to that source and leave behind all self-centered thoughts, petty desires, and anger. those who are possed by nothing possess everything.

the art of peace

 

[ChrisP]

Those who know do not talk
And talkers do not know.

Stop your senses,
Close the doors;
Let sharp things be blunted,
Tangles resolved,
The light tempered
And turmoil subdued;
For this is mystic unity
In which the Wise Man is moved
Neither by affection
Nor yet by estrangement
Or profit or loss
Or honor or shame.
Accordingly, by all the world,
He is held highest.

 

[Cordoba]

- Beware the darkness in the grey areas.

- The companion before the road, and the road before the destination.
But without the destination there is no road, and without the road there is no companion.

- Where the roots are weak, the branches are stiff.
Where the roots are firm, the branches are supple.

(Abdel Hakim Murad, Cambridge)

 

[Solon]

Any fool can know. The point is to understand.

Einstein
