“Go
placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in
silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all
persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the
dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Be yourself. Especially do not
feign affection. Neither be cynical about love – for in the face of all aridity
and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the
years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you from misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees
and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to
you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace
with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and
aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all
its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.”

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life
“Too
often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening
ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the
potential to turn a life around.”

Leo Buscaglia
“We
have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen
to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now
is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about
Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered,
you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic
media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is
shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what
is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your
orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're
unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.'
And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to
reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who
want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being
manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.”
―
Terence McKenna
“Count
your blessings, not your problems. Count your own blessings, not someone
else's. Remember that jealousy is when you count someone else's blessings
instead of your own.”
