Nitobe Inazō
“Human life has sorrow;" "They who meet must part;" "He that is born must die;”
Inazo Nitobe, Bushido, the Soul of Japan

“Real change lies within all of us. It is in the choices we make every day. It's in how we talk, who we hire, and what we permit others to say in our presence. It's in reading more, thinking more, considering a different perspective. At its simplest, it's in whether we're willing to spend even five minutes a day thinking about how we can make the world better.”
Megan Rapinoe, One Life

Dan    Brown
“To permit ignorance is to empower it. To do nothing as our leaders proclaim absurdities is a crime of complacency. As is letting our schools and churches teach outright untruths to our children.”
Dan Brown, Origin

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Man has to awaken to wonder - and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Culture and Value

Nitobe Inazō
“Tranquillity is courage in repose. It is a statical manifestation of valor, as daring deeds are a dynamical. A truly brave man is ever serene; he is never taken by surprise; nothing ruffles the equanimity of his spirit.”
Inazo Nitobe, Bushido, the Soul of Japan
