"The lie tastes sweet in the beginning,
but bitter in the end, the truth tastes
bitter in the beginning and sweet in
the end" - Buddha

                                                                                                                 

“Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution”

Teilhard de Chardin “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”  John Fitzgerald Kennedy “Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.”  Teilhard de Chardin “When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her.”  Oscar Wilde “Every generation needs a new revolution.”  Thomas Jefferson “The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives”  William James “Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind”  Ralph Waldo Emerson “The Framers [of the Constitution] knew that free speech is the friend of change and revolution. But they also knew that it is always the deadliest enemy of tyranny.”  Hugo Black “A great revolution in just one single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a society and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of humankind.”  Daisaku Ikeda       “Revolution is a serious thing, the most serious thing about a revolutionary's life. When one commits oneself to the struggle, it must be for a lifetime.”  Angela Davis “Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.”  Abbie Hoffman “The seed of revolution is repression.”  Woodrow T. Wilson       “Revolution is not the uprising against preexisting order, but the setting up of a new order contradictory to the traditional one”  Jose Ortega “In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters.”  Paul Gauguin       “Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.”  Thomas Alva Edison “Evolution is fascinating to watch. To me it is the most interesting when one can observe the evolution of a single man.”  Shana Alexander
