David Hume

Battles, revolutions, pestilence, famine, and death, are never the effect of those natural causes, which we experience. Prodigies,omens, oracles, judgments, quite obscure the few natural events, that are intermingled with them.

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.

Alan Watts

Breathing is important in the practice of meditation because it is the faculty in us that is simultaneously voluntary and involuntary.

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