The intellect can only think about or analyze joy, but cannot feel it.

It is better to have a fair intellect that is well used, than a powerful one that is idle.

The joy and smile of even one child is worth more than the prancing intellects of a thousand men, for we are, that we might have joy, and be free.

Have you forgotten what it feels like to be alive? The grace of life shining on you; each breath vitalizing you with possibility? Remember!

Sure. You want to be touched, inspired and made to feel alive. But a relationship is like a bridge where you meet other people half-way. That means if you want to be touched, inspired and made to feel alive, you have to be touching, inspiring and bring the fire of your aliveness to the union of your companionship.

When we feel powerless in a hostile world we can at least practice quelling the enmity in our minds.
