Christian

“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“What one has, one ought to use; and whatever he does, he should do with all his might.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Every increased possession loads us with new weariness.”
― John Ruskin

“The only Zen you find on tops of mountains is the Zen you bring there.”
― Robert M. Pirsig
