“The commitment to morality, or non-harming, is a source of tremendous strength, because it helps free the mind from the remorse of having done unwholesome actions. Freedom from remorse leads to happiness. Happiness leads to concentration. Concentration brings wisdom. And wisdom is the source of peace and freedom in our lives.”
― Joseph Goldstein, A Heart Full of Peace

“Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.”

“My desire and wish is that the things I start with should be so obvious that you wonder why I spend my time stating them.

― Bertrand Russell, The Philosophy of Logical Atomism
