In our time all it takes for evil to flourish is for a few good men to be a little wrong and have a great deal of power, and for the vast majority of their fellow citizens to remain indifferent.

Routine has nothing to do with repetition. To become really good at anything, you have to practice and repeat, practice and repeat, until the technique becomes intuitive.
Paulo Coelho
What we aim to do is calm the spirit and get in touch with the source from which everything comes, removing any trace of malice or egotism. If you spend too much time trying to find out what is good or bad about someone else, youll forget your own soul and end up exhausted and defeated by the energy you have wasted in judging others.
Paulo Coelho
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Jean Maurice Eugne Clment Cocteau
Democracy is spreading across the world. Democracy is only possible with easy access to information and good communications. And technology is a way of facilitating communications.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending; and to have the two as close together as possible.
George Burns
Cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal.
William Seward Burroughs
What call ye them or Goods or Ills, ill-goods, good-ills, a loss, a gain, When realms arise and falls a roof; a world is won, a man is slain?
Sir Richard Francis Burton
When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.
Mark Zuckerberg
Discussing a problem with yourself is almost never a good way to secure a divergent viewpoint.
