[BriarRose Kildare]

“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.”

Victor Hugo

For one who is indifferent, life itself is a prison. Any sense of community is external or, even worse, nonexistent. Thus, indifference means solitude. Those who are indifferent do not see others. They feel nothing for others and are unconcerned with what might happen to them. They are surrounded by a great emptiness. Filled by it, in fact. They are devoid of all hope as well as imagination. In other words, devoid of any future.

Eli Wiese

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all -- the apathy of human beings.

Helen Kellerl

['Bastian Devareaux]

A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's vexation is heavier than them both.

Here is a poem I found....

Life can be so simple when

you're standing at the opening to hell.

Something for nothing was the price made of old.

A lock of hair, a first -born child was the sum of old.

Nothing too much you thought to get the one sought after.

He didn't want love, money no foolish ring a child wears.

You answered before you knew the cost.

No kiss in three days.

No ruby slippers to guide you home.

Fare thee well to the golden ball in the well.

No frog prince to get it out.

His heart you must take the purest sign of love.

Laughter and love painted black and alabaster.

Not crimson and gold.

If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But ONLY if you're serious about adopting the vulture.

You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands: your own.”

Thoughts are like boomerangs.

-Eileen Caddy

Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant.

From this moment onward you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.

-Eileen Caddy
