To help me get back into the habit of posting entries in my blog today I will cheat a little. I'm going to list some favourite quotes:
Meditation is running into reality. It does not insulate you from the pain of life. It allows you to delve so deeply into life and all its aspects that you pierce the pain barrier and go beyond suffering.
-Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.
-Henry Ward Beecher
Shout out to the Prez:
True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.
-Clarence Darrow
AND
Dangerous consequences will follow when politicians and rulers forget moral principles. Whether we believe in God or karma, ethics is the foundation of every religion.
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama
