- The Paradox of our age “We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less times; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour; We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We have become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are times of fast foods but slow digestion; Tall man but short character; Steep profits but shallow relationships. It’s a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.” The 14th Dalai Lama (Picture in my office with a tie frustrated)
- “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was they key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy”. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life” – John Lennon
- “I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him” – Galileo Galilei
- “Slavery has never been abolished from America’s way of thinking.” – Nina Simone
