Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
- George Washington Carver

If I were to wish for anything,

Consciously adopt the mindset of a young child,

I honor you, Hero, for you do not play to the crowd.
You play to your own soul.
An audience of one fills the house with its appreciation and applause.
Others follow you, and may attempt to emulate you,
but that is not why you are a hero.
Fame may smile upon you, or it may not.
The world may cheer your name, or you may be the unknown warrior
who rescued comrades in battle,
or taught a young girl how to shed tears of joy.
Whatever you did, you did not do for fame.
If you had, you would not be a Hero.
You are a Hero for your bold courageous inspired action.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Mind can never be intelligent - only no-mind is intelligent.
Only no-mind is original and radical.
Only no-mind is revolutionary - revolution in action.
The mind gives you a sort of stupor.
Burdened by the memories of the past,
burdened by the projections of the future,
you go on living - at the minimum.
You dont live at the maximum.
Your flame remains very dim.
Once you start dropping thoughts,
the dust that you have collected in the past,
the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young.
Your whole life becomes a flame,
and a flame without any smoke.
That is what awareness is.
- Osho

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.
The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.
We then have to nurture and grow those friendships over our middle age
when a busy life and changing geographies
can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
- Grant Fairley

in the soul of a young girl?
- Anne Frank

One of the greatest cause of unhappiness -
perhaps even the only cause of unhappiness - is comparison.

and one of the most important.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

they do have the power to change the world.

To be seventy years young is sometimes
far more cheerful and hopeful
than to be forty years old.

should, when young, consider that he may one day become old,
and remember when he is old, that he has once been young.

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion
will legislate its creed into law
if it acquires the political power to do so,
