'If you think you are too small to make a difference,
try sleeping with a mosquito.'
"The Paradox of our Age
We have bigger houses
but smaller families;
more conveniences,
But less time;
We have more degrees,
but less sense;
More knowledge, but less judgement;
More experts, but more problems;
More medicines, but less healthiness;
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to
meet the new neighbour.
We build more computers to hold more
information to produce more copies than ever,
but have less communication.
We have become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods,
but slow digestion;
Tall man but short character;
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It’s a time when there is much in the window,
but nothing in the room."
"Compassion, forgiveness, these are the real ultimate sources of power for peace & success in life."
‘We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful & afraid, or we can let them soften us, & make us kinder. You always have the choice.’
Dalai Lama

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
