One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.”
Albert Einstein
“Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.”
Eleanor Roosevelt

Nelson Mandela
“There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color, or religion.”
Malala Yousafzai

Quotations On The Importance of Compassion
Standard
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.”
Dalai Lama
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
Aesop

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
“Bigotry must never be accepted, must always be confronted, and must never become the way of our country. We must always recognize its past and the consequences of its present existence, and we should always strive to eliminate bigotry, in all forms, from the future.”

Quotations on Thinking–Revisited!

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Socrates
“Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to privilege; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. It sees man, a feeble speck, surrounded by unfathomable depths of silence; yet it bears itself proudly, as unmoved as if it were lord of the universe. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man”
(Russell, Bertrand. Why Men Fight 178-9).
“All good writing is inherently subversive.”
Charles French
