They do not lead to liberation.~ Adi ShankaracharyaThe man who craves disciples and wants followers is always more or less of a charlatan. The man of genuine worth and insight wants to be himself; and he wants others to be themselves, also.~ Elbert HubbardThe real searcher after truth will not receive the old because it is old, or reject the new because it is new. He will not believe men because they are dead, or contradict them because they are alive. With him an utterance is worth the truth, the reason it contains, without the slightest regard to the author. He may have been a king or serf -- a philosopher or servant, -- but the utterance neither gains nor loses in truth or reason. Its value is absolutely independent of the fame or station of the man who gave it to the world.~ Robert G. Ingersoll Dec 25, 2006Life is a gift. Freedom is a responsibility.~ Eric SchaubKnowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.~ Johann Wolfgang von GoetheHe therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man...The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people.~ Samuel Adams Dec 22, 2006He does not believe, that does not live according to his belief.~ Dr. Thomas FullerWhat is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow; that is the whole Law: all the rest is interpretation.~ HillelPut up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish by the sword.~ Jesus of Nazareth Dec 21, 2006God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.~ Daniel WebsterDo your duty, and leave the rest to heaven.~ Pierre CorneilleThree things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do.~ Saint Thomas Aquinas Dec 20, 2006Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.~ Tecumseh Previous week's quotes Next week's quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
