Irwin Thomas

My grandfather was from Aberdare. He was a coal miner who emigrated and then continued mining in Pennsylvania.

Charles Caleb Colton

It is curious that we pay statesmen for what they say, not for what they do; and judge of them from what they do, not from what they say.

As responsible moral beings, we dare not so trifle with our eternal future.

Chogyam Trungpa

We must begin our practice by walking the narrow path of simplicity, the hinayana path, before we can walk upon the open highway of compassionate action, the mahayana path.
