"There Is A Family Of Us..."

"There is a family of us who have this yearning for a kind of excellence that we can manifest every day of our lives, a family who wants to believe we're not pawns, we're not victims on this planet, that knows we have the power within us here and now to change the world we see around us!"

"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in
each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof."

- Richard Bach,
"Illusions: The Adventures of A Reluctant Messiah"


"The Rule..."

"Insanity in individuals is something rare-
but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."
- Friedrich Nietzsche


"Two Possibilities Exist..."

"I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life.
It's just been too intelligent to come here."
- Arthur C. Clarke



"Suddenly We Realize..."




"What Will Amaze You Even More..."

"There exists no more difficult art than living. For other arts and sciences, numerous teachers are to be found everywhere. Even young people believe that they have acquired these in such a way, that they can teach them to others. Throughout the whole of life, one must continue to learn to live and, what will amaze you even more, throughout life one must learn to die."
- Seneca



"Sooner Or Later..."

“Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.”
– Robert Louis Stevenson

***********************
Thanks for your input. Read Bach a long time ago and agree with him. I also mirror the thoughts of Seneca and Einstein. Isn't it sad that upon learning of the space between birth and death, many actually do nothing with the interim period besides feeling jealous of and condemning those who did create.

Most of our lives have been spent in an enormous hurry to get "there" from "here" without looking at where we are or what we passed on the way. "There" is always over the next hurdle and our mantra is:

I'm late, I'm late for
A very important date.
No time to say hello, good-bye,
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late
I'm late and when I wave,
I lose the time I save.
