~ Joseph Pilates ~

A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence,are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion.

Im 50 years ahead of my time.

The mind, when housedin a healthful body,possesses a glorioussense of power.

Patience and persistenceare vital qualities in theultimate successfulaccomplishment of anyworthwhile endeavor.

"With body, mind, and spirit functioning perfectly as a coordinated whole,what else could reasonably be expected other than an active, alert, disciplined person."

Born December 9, 1883, Died October 9, 1967German Inventor of Pilates Method of Physical Fitness

~ Yogananda~Learn to be calm and you will always be happy.

Faithfulness in the performanceof small duties gives us strengthto adhere to difficultdeterminations that life willsomeday force us to make.

The soul loves to meditate, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy.If, then you experience mental resistance during meditation,

remember that reluctance to meditate comes from the ego; it doesn't belong to the soul.

Retire to the center of your being,

which is calmness.

Having lots of money while not

having inner peace is like dying of

thirst while bathing in the ocean.

The season of failure is the besttime for sowing the seeds ofsuccess.

Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly.We should reverse this attitude by excusing others' shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.

Born January 5, 1893, Died March 7, 1952

Hindu (Indian) Yogi and Guru

~Ida Rolf~Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function,

Appropriate form must exist or be created.

Rolfing can be like making your bed in the morning. You think youre going to get by withoutpulling that bed apart, so you pull up this cover and the next cover.

When you get all the covers puffed up, youve got nine ridges running across the bed.Now youve got to go to a deeper layer and organize the deeper layer, and make your bed on top of that.

Then youve got a made bed.

Well its the same with the body: youve got to organize those deeper layers.

no situation exists in a humanwhich a psychologist would diagnoseas a feeling of insecurity or

inadequacy unless it is accompaniedby a physical situation which bearswitness to the fact that thegravitational support is inadequate.

This is the gospel of Rolfing:when the body gets working

appropriately, the forces ofgravity can flow through.Then, spontaneously,the body heals itself.

Born May 19, 1896, Died March 19, 1979American Biochemist and Creator of Structural Integration or Rolfing

~Charles Darwin~I love fools experiments. I am always making them.

Intelligence is based on how efficient

a species became at doing the things

they need to survive.

It is not the strongest of the speciesthat survives, nor the most intelligent,

but the one most responsive to

change.

If I had my life to live over again,

I would have made a rule to read

some poetry and listen to some

music at least once a week.

Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read variousscientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or

conclusions may be drawn from them.

Born February 12, 1809, Died April 19, 1882English Naturalist who documented Evolution and Natural Selection

~Rainer Maria Rilke~

Born December 4, 1875, Died December 29, 1926Bohemian-Austrian Poet

Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will livealong some distant day into your answers.

Let life happen to you. Believeme: life is in the right, always.

All the soarings of my mind beginin my blood.

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be anunbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

I hold this to be the highesttask for a bond between twopeople: that each protects thesolitude of the other.

I want to be with those who know

secret things or else alone.

Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us oncebeautiful and brave.

The only journey is the one within.


8/95

~Edgar Degas~

Born July 19, 1834, Died September 27, 1917French Artist

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.

Art is vice. You don't marryit legitimately, you rape it. In painting you must give the ideaof the true by means of the false.


9/95

~Immanuel Kant~

Born April 22, 1724, Died February 12, 1804German philosopher and professor

Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.

Always recognize that humanindividuals are ends, and do notuse them as means to your end.

From such crooked wood as thatwhich man is made of, nothingstraight can be fashioned.

What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope?

Two things awe me most, thestarry sky above me and themoral law within me.

If man makes himself a worm hemust not complain when he istrodden on.

But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not followthat it arises from experience.


10/95

~Albert Bandura~

Born December 4, 1925Canadian Psychologist known for Social Cognitive Theory

Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.

People who believe they have the power to exercise some measure of control over theirlives are healthier, more effective and more successful than those who lack faith in their

ability to effect changes in their lives.

Accomplishment is sociallyjudged by ill defined criteriaso that one has to rely onothers to find out how one is

doing.

In order to succeed, peopleneed a sense of self-efficacy,to struggle together withresilience to meet the

inevitable obstacles andinequities of life.

Coping with the demands of everyday life would be exceedingly trying if one couldarrive at solutions to problems only by actually performing possible options and

suffering the consequences.

~Elie Wiesel~

Born September 30, 1928Romanian-born Jewish-American writer, professor, activist, Nobel Laureate

Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.

I decided to devote my lifeto telling the story becauseI felt that having survived Iowe something to the deadand anyone who does notremember betrays themagain.

I swore never to be silentwhenever and wherever humanbeings endure suffering andhumiliation. We must alwaystake sides. Neutrality helps theoppressor, never the victim.Silence encourages the

tormentor, never thetormented.

I write to understandas much as to beunderstood.

Some stories are true thatnever happened.

Peace is our gift to each other.


14/95

~Helen Frankenthaler~

Born December 12, 1928American abstract painter

There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go againstthe rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about.

A really good picture looks as if it's happened at once. It's an immediate image.


15/95

~Jorge Luis Borges~

Born August 24, 1899, Died June 14, 1986Argentine writer, essayist, and poet

Life and death have been lacking in my life.

To die for a religion iseasier than to live itabsolutely. In general, every country has

the language it deserves.

Any life is made up of a singlemoment, the moment in which aman finds out, once and for all,who he is.

I cannot walk through

the suburbs in thesolitude of the nightwithout thinking thatthe night pleases us

because it suppressesidle details, just as ourmemory does.

The truth is that we live out our lives putting off all that can be put off; perhaps we all knowdeep down that we are immortal and that sooner or later all men will do and know all things.

17/95

~Thich Nhat Hanh~

Born October 11, 1926Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet, peace activist

In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.

Smiling is very important. Ifwe are not able to smile, thenthe world will not have peace.

It is not by going out for ademonstration against nuclearmissiles that we can bringabout peace. It is with ourcapacity of smiling, breathing,and being peace that we canmake peace.

People deal too much with thenegative, with what is wrong.Why not try and see positivethings, to just touch thosethings and make them bloom?

The practice of peace andreconciliation is one of themost vital and artistic of

human actions.


18/95

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~

Born February 27, 1807, Died March 24, 1882American poet and educator

Music is the universal language of mankind.

Ships that pass in the night,and speak each other in passing,only a signal shown, and adistant voice in the darkness; Soon the ocean of life, we pass andspeak one another, only a lookand a voice, then darkness again

and a silence.

Each morning sees some taskbegun, each evening sees itclose; Something attempted,something done, has earned anight's repose.

Give what you have tosomebody, it may be betterthan you think.

In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.

Most people would succeed insmall things if they were nottroubled with great ambitions.

Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idleseashore of the mind.


19/95

~Blaise Pascal~

Born June 19, 1623, Died August 19, 1662French mathematician, inventor, physicist, writer, and Catholic philosopher

Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.

If we examine our thoughts, weshall find them always occupiedwith the past and the future.

It is incomprehensible thatGod should exist, and it isincomprehensible that heshould not exist.

It is the fight alone that pleases us, not the victory.

Love has reasons whichreason cannot understand.

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

The least movement is ofimportance to all nature.The entire ocean isaffected by a pebble.

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.


20/95

~Maya Angelou~

Born April 4, 1928African-American author and poet

Courage is the mostimportant of all thevirtues, because withoutcourage you can'tpractice any othervirtue consistently. Youcan practice any virtue

erratically, but nothingconsistently withoutcourage.

If you don't like something,change it. If you can't change it,change your attitude.

Nothing will work unless you do.

There is nothing so pitifulas a young cynic because hehas gone from knowingnothing to believingnothing.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.

The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity oflove. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

22/95

~T.S. Eliot~

Born September 26, 1888, Died January 4, 1965American-born English poet, playwright, and literary critic

Anxiety is the hand maiden ofcreativity.

April is the cruelest month.

I have measured out my life withcoffee spoons.

It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has neverexperienced it than we can explain light to the blind.

It's strange that words are so inadequate. Yet, like the asthmaticstruggling for breath, so the lover must struggle for words.

Only those who will risk goingtoo far can possibly find out

how far one can go.

What we call the beginning isoften the end. And to make an end

is to make a beginning. The end iswhere we start from.


23/95

~Amelia Earhart~

Born July 24, 1897, Disappeared July 2, 1937, Declared legally dead January 5, 1939American aviation pioneer and author

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

Never do things others cando and will do if there arethings others cannot do or

will not do.

The most effective way todo it, is to do it.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fearsare paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and

control your life; and the procedure , the process is its own reward.


24/95

~Viktor Frankl~

Born March 26, 1905, Died September 2, 1997Austrian Jewish neurologist and psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power tochoose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Challenging the meaning of lifeis the truest expression of thestate of being human.

Everything can be taken from

a man or a woman but onething: the last of humanfreedoms to choose one'sattitude in any given set ofcircumstances, to chooseone's own way.

For the meaning of lifediffers from man to man,from day to day and fromhour to hour. What matters,therefore, is not themeaning of life in general

but rather the specificmeaning of a person's life ata given moment.

Fear may come true that which one is afraid of.


25/95

~Geoffrey Chaucer~

Born circa 1343, Died October 25, 1400Father of English Literature, greatest English poet of Middle Ages

Love is blind.

Time and tide wait for no man. We know little of the things forwhich we pray.

People can die of mereimagination.

Forbid us something, andthat thing we desire.

Get yourself ready! Standup and say to themwhatever I command you.Do not be terrified bythem, or I will terrify you

before them. Today I have

made you a fortified city,an iron pillar and a bronzewall to stand against thewhole landagainst thekings of Judah, itsofficials, its priests andthe people of the land.

28/95

~Mohandas Gandhi~

Born October 2, 1869, Died January 30, 1948Pre-eminent political and ideological Indian leader

Be the change that you want to see in the world.

A coward is incapable ofexhibiting love; it is theprerogative of the brave.

A small body of determinedspirits fired by anunquenchable faith in theirmission can alter the courseof history.

An ounce of practice is worthmore than tons of preaching. Even if you are a minority of

one, the truth is the truth.First they ignore you, thenthey laugh at you, then theyfight you, then you win.

I am prepared to die, butthere is no cause for which Iam prepared to kill.

I like your Christ, I donot like your Christians.Your Christians are sounlike your Christ.

In a gentle way, youcan shake the world.

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Learn to self conquest, persevere thus for a time, and you will perceive very clearly theadvantage which you gain from it.

~St. Theresa of Avila~

Born March 28, 1515, Died October 4, 1582Prominent Spanish mystic, Roman Catholic saint

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

All things must come to thesoul from its roots, fromwhere it is planted.

Our body has this defectthat, the more it isprovided care andcomforts, the more needsand desires it finds.

Pain is never permanent.

To have courage for whatevercomes in life - everything liesin that.

God gave us faculties forour use; each of them willreceive its proper reward.Then do not let us try tocharm them to sleep, butpermit them to do theirwork until divinely calledto something higher.

~Eleanor Roosevelt~

Born October 11, 1884, Died November 7, 1962

American United Nations diplomat, humanitarian, and First Lady

A little simplification wouldbe the first step towardrational living, I think.

Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll bedamned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Great minds discuss ideas;average minds discussevents; small minds discusspeople.

I once had a rose namedafter me and I was very

flattered. But I was notpleased to read thedescription in thecatalogue: no good in a

bed, but fine up against awall.

It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.

Remember always thatyou not only have theright to be an individual,you have an obligation to

be one.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we reallystop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

Polish poet, essayist and translator

I like being near the top of a mountain. One can't get lost here.

All imperfection is easier totolerate if served up in smalldoses.

Any knowledge thatdoesn't lead to newquestions quickly dies out:it fails to maintain thetemperature required forsustaining life.

In every tragedy, an elementof comedy is preserved.Comedy is just tragedyreversed.

Keep up the good work, ifonly for a while, if only forthe twinkling of a tinygalaxy.

Let the people who never find true love keep saying that there's no such thing. Theirfaith will make it easier for them to live and die.

You can find the entire cosmos lurking in its least remarkable objects.

~Khalil Gibran~

Born January 6, 1883, Died April 10, 1931Lebanese-American artist, poet, philosopher

Generosity is not giving me thatwhich I need more than you do,

but it is giving me that which youneed more than I do.

If you cannot work with lovebut only with distaste, it is

better that you should leaveyour work.

March on. Do not tarry. To goforward is to move towardperfection. March on, and fear notthe thorns, or the sharp stones onlife's path.

Of life's two chief prizes,

beauty and truth, I found thefirst in a loving heart and thesecond in a laborer's hand.

The teacher who is indeed wisedoes not bid you to enter thehouse of his wisdom but ratherleads you to the threshold of

your mind.

Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.

Your daily life is your templeand your religion. When youenter into it take with you your

all.

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play

with your hair.

Silence is better than unmeaning words.

Choose ratherto be strong ofsoul than strongof body.

Do not say a littlein many words buta great deal in afew.

Rest satisfiedwith doing well,and leave othersto talk of you asthey will.

~Winston Churchill~

Born November 30, 1874, Died January 24, 1965British politician and statesman

A pessimist sees the difficulty

in every opportunity; anoptimist sees the opportunityin every difficulty.

Continuous effort - not

strength or intelligence - is thekey to unlocking our potential.

Courage is what it takes tostand up and speak; courage isalso what it takes to sit downand listen.

I am an optimist. It does notseem too much use beinganything else.

I like a man who grins whenhe fights.

If you are going throughhell, keep going.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit thepoint once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.

Never, never, never give up.

A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.

A musician must make music, an artist mustpaint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately atpeace with himself.

He that is good with a hammer tends to think everything is a nail.

If I were dropped out of a plane intothe ocean and told the nearest landwas a thousand miles away, I'd stillswim. And I'd despise the one whogave up.

If you deliberately plan on

being less than you arecapable of being, then I warnyou that you'll be unhappyfor the rest of your life.

American author, poet, abolitionist (transcendentalist)

A man's interest in a singlebluebird is worth more than acomplete but dry list of thefauna and flora of a town.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.

Beware of all enterprises that

require a new set of clothes.

Could a greater miracle takeplace than for us to lookthrough each other's eyes for aninstant?

Do not worry if you havebuilt your castles in the air.They are where they should

be. Now put the foundationsunder them.

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.

How vain it is to sit down towrite when you have not stoodup to live.

I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of theworld, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearinglipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is

~Eckhart Tolle~

Born 1948, date unknownGerman-born Canadian author

Nothing ever happened in thepast that can prevent you from

being present now; and if thepast cannot prevent you from

being present now, what powerdoes it have?

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having

at this moment.

Life is the dancer and you are the dance.

Thinking and consciousnessare not synonymous. Thinkingis only a small aspect ofconsciousness. Thoughtcannot exist withoutconsciousness, butconsciousness does not needthought.

Worry pretends to be

necessary but serves no useful

purpose

Accept - then act. Whatever

the present moment contains,

accept it as if you had chosenit. Always work with it, not

against it.

Awareness is the greatest

agent for change.

~Patanjali~

Yoga is the cessation ofthe movements of themind. Then there isabiding in the Seer's ownform.

For those who have anintense urge for Spirit andwisdom, it sits near them,waiting.

Undisturbed calmness ofmind is attained bycultivating friendlinesstoward the happy,compassion for the

unhappy, delight in thevirtuous, and indifferencetoward the wicked.

I would unite with anybody to

do right and with nobody to do

wrong.

Find out just what any people

will quietly submit to and youhave the exact measure of theinjustice and wrong which will

be imposed on them.

We have to do with the past

only as we can make it useful to

the present and the future.

I prayed for twenty years

but received no answer untilI prayed with my legs.

Without a struggle, there can be no progress.

To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as wellas those of the speaker.

~Miguel Cervantes~

Baptized October 9, 1547 (Birth unknown), Died April 23, 1616Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright

Alas! all music jars when

the soul's out of tune.

Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a manto the goal of any of his best wishes.

Fear has many eyes and cansee things underground.

He who loses wealth losesmuch; he who loses a friendloses more; but he that loses hiscourage loses all.

Make it thy business to

know thyself, which is the

most difficult lesson in the

world

Too much sanity may be

madness and the maddest ofall, to see life as it is and not asit should be.

I know who I am and who I may be, if I choose.

~Pablo Picasso~

Born October 25, 1881, Died April 8, 1973Spanish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor

All children are artists. Theproblem is how to remain anartist once he grows up.

Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.

Every act of creation isfirst an act of destruction.

I do not seek. I find.

If only we could pull out ourbrain and use only our eyes.

If there were only one truth,you couldn't paint a hundredcanvases on the same theme.

Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is moredangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.

The purpose of art iswashing the dust of daily lifeoff our souls.

To draw you must close youreyes and sing.

Born June 27, 1880, Died June 1, 1968American author, political activist, and lecturer

All the world is full of suffering.It is also full of overcoming.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful arecaught as often as the bold.

Death is no more thanpassing from one room intoanother. But there's adifference for me, you know.Because in that other room Ishall be able to see.

I long to accomplish a greatand noble task, but it is mychief duty to accomplish small

tasks as if they were great andnoble.

It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

Never bend your head. Alwayshold it high. Look the worldstraight in the eye.

Alone we can do so little; together

we can do so much

Knowledge is love and light and

vision.

The best and most beautifulthings in the world cannot beseen or even touched - theymust be felt with the heart.

Always do what you are afraid to do.

Our greatest glory is not in

never failing, but in rising up

every time we fail.

Beauty without grace is thehook without the bait.

Every man supposes himselfnot to be fully understood orappreciated.

Fear defeats more people than anyother one thing in the world.

For every minute you remainangry, you give up sixty secondsof peace of mind.

You are constantly invited to be

what you are.Hitch your wagon to a star.

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

A good traveler has no fixed plans,

Being deeply loved by someonegives you strength, while lovingsomeone deeply gives you courage.

He who conquers others is

strong; he who conquers himself

is mighty."

He who knows others is wise.He who knows himself isenlightened.

He who knows, does not speak.He who speaks, does not know.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. Thesethree are your greatest treasures.

What is firmly rooted cannot be pulled out.

If you realize that all thingschange, there is nothing you willtry to hold on to. If you are notafraid of dying, there is nothingyou cannot achieve.

Love is our true destiny. Wedo not find the meaning oflife by ourselves alone-wefind it with another.

Perhaps I am stronger than I think.

The beginning of love is tolet those we love be perfectlythemselves, and not to twistthem to fit our own image.Otherwise we love only thereflection of ourselves wefind in them.

The very contradictions inmy life are in some wayssigns of God's mercy to me.

Art enables us to find

ourselves and lose ourselves

at the same time.

We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being.As a result, men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they

Great dancers are not greatbecause of their technique,they are great because oftheir passion.

Learn by practice.

Dance is the hidden

language of the soul.

Nothing is more revealing

than movement.

The body is a sacredgarment.

Some men havethousands of reasonswhy they cannot do what

they want to, when allthey need is one reasonwhy they can.

The body says what words cannot.

Think of the magic of

the foot, comparatively

small, upon which yourwhole weight rests. It's

a miracle and the dance

is a celebration of that

miracle.

You are unique, and ifthat is not fulfilled,then something has

been lost.

Age is whatever you think itis. You are as old as you thinkyou are.

believed in myself.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

Hating people because oftheir color is wrong. And itdoesn't matter which color

does the hating. It's justplain wrong.

I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

He who is not courageousenough to take risks will

accomplish nothing in life.

heart can believe it - then I can

achieve it.

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

As far as we can discern, thesole purpose of humanexistence is to kindle a light inthe darkness of mere being.

Where wisdom reigns, there is no

conflict between thinking and feeling.

There can be no transforming of

darkness into light and of apathy into

movement without emotionEverything that irritates usabout others can lead us to anunderstanding of ourselves.

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.

Knowing your own darkness is

the best method for dealing withthe darknesses of other people.The least of things with ameaning is worth more in lifethan the greatest of thingswithout it.

The word "happiness" wouldlose its meaning if it were not

balanced by sadness.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Wholooks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Age does not protect you fromlove. But love, to some extent,protects you from age.

Do not seek the because - inlove there is no because, no

Dreams pass into the reality ofaction. From the actions stems

the dream again; and thisinterdependence produces thehighest form of living.

The curious paradox isthat when I accept myself

state of being. It is a direction nota destination.

In my early professional

which this person mayuse for his own personalgrowth?

It's only when wetruly know andunderstand that wehave a limited timeon earth - and thatwe have no way of

knowing when ourtime is up, we willthen begin to liveeach day to thefullest, as if it wasthe only one wehad.

People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun isout, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a

light from within.

The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, whichincludes not only others but ourselves as well.

degree, and not of kind, because

oneness is the secret of

Believe in yourself and the world

will be at your feetNever think there is

anything impossible forthe soul. It is the greatestheresy to think so. If thereis sin, this is the only sin;to say that you are weak,or others are weak.

A question that sometimesdrives me hazy: am I or are theothers crazy?

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch ofgenius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

There are only two ways tolive your life. One is asthough nothing is a

miracle. The other is asthough everything is amiracle.

Education is what remainsafter one has forgotten whatone has learned in school. I believe that a simple and

unassuming manner of lifeis best for everyone, best

both for the body and the

mind.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

It is the supreme art ofthe teacher to awaken joy

If you love and get hurt, love

more.

If you love more and hurt more,

love even more.

If you love even more and get hurt

even more, love some more until

it hurts no more...

Expectation is the root of all heartache.

We know what we are, but not what

we may be.

It is not in the stars to hold ourdestiny but in ourselves.

Our doubts are traitors andmake us lose the good we oft

might win by fearing toattempt.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
