Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely gives him comfortable subsistence.

You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the
freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

Be Happy.  Remember you have a smile.

We do not need to invent sustainable human communities. We can learn from societies that have lived sustainably for centuries. We can also model communities after nature's ecosystems, which are sustainable communities of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Since the outstanding characteristic of the biosphere is its inherent ability to sustain life, a sustainable human community must be designed in such a manner that its technologies and social institutions honor, support, and cooperate with nature's inherent ability to sustain life.

Whether we love, or close our hearts to love, is a mental choice we make, every moment of every day.

We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place for those who love us.

Happiness is as a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek.

Man cannot continue to wage war like physical giants and seek peace like intellectual pygmies.

Silence is like a cradle holding our endeavors and our will; a silent spaciousness sustains us in our work and at the same time connects us to larger worlds that, in the busyness of our daily struggle to achieve, we have not yet investigated. Silence is the soul's break for freedom.
