We are certainly influenced by role models, and if we are surrounded by images of beautiful rich people, we will start to think that to be beautiful and rich is very important - just as in the Middle Ages, people were surrounded by images of religious piety. Alain de Botton

Avoid the wicked company and associate with saintly persons. Acquire virtue both day and night. Always meditate on that which is eternal, forgetting the temporary. In this way you will achieve success.
Chanakya Pandit

Christianity isn't moving people's lives today. What's moving people's lives is the stock market and the baseball scores. What are people excited about? It's a totally materialistic level that has taken over the world. There isn't even an ideal that anybody's fighting for.
Joseph Campbell

"A glory shines across the coming years,
The glory of a race grown great and free.
'Twas seen by poets, sages, saints and seers,
Whose vision glimpsed the dawn that is to be.
A shining shore is by the futures sea,
Whereon each man shall stand among his peers.
As equal; and to none shall bend the knee.
Awake, my soul, shake off your doubts and fears;
Behold the magic of the morning face;
And hear the sweet and wondorous melody
That floats to us from far-off golden days-
It is the choral song of liberty
It is the anthem of the coming race."
A dweller on two planets. By Phylos.

The world view most people associate with science
has been left behind. The concept of space and
time, life and matter, and the universe itself, has changed.
The cosmos is not a life less, soulless aggregate of innert chunks
of matter: it is closer to a living organism. It is not a matter
that is a fundamental component in it: physical reality is made up
of a variety of familiaras well as strange fields, forces, and
energies. Space and time are not a passive backdrop
to the blind concourse of particlesand atoms: they are the
unified background of the evolution of galaxies. This view
is not the final, immutable truth of course, but it is
likely to be closer to the way things really are
than any previous conception.

Prayer Before Birth
I am not yet born; O hear me.Let not the bloodsucking bat or the rat or the stoat or the club-footed ghoul come near me.I am not yet born, console me.I fear that the human race may with tall walls wall me, with strong drugs dope me, with wise lies lure me, on black racks rack me, in blood-baths roll me.I am not yet born; provide meWith water to dandle me, grass to grow for me, trees to talk to me, sky to sing to me, birds and a white light in the back of my mind to guide me.I am not yet born; forgive meFor the sins that in me the world shall commit, my words when they speak me, my thoughts when they think me, my treason engendered by traitors beyond me, my life when they murder by means of my hands, my death when they live me.I am not yet born; rehearse meIn the parts I must play and the cues I must take when old men lecture me, bureaucrats hector me, mountains frown at me, lovers laugh at me, the white waves call me to folly and the desert calls me to doom and the beggar refuses my gift and my children curse me.I am not yet born; O hear me,Let not the man who is beast or who thinks he is God come near me.I am not yet born; O fill meWith strength against those who would freeze my humanity, would dragoon me into a lethal automaton, would make me a cog in a machine, a thing with one face, a thing, and against all those who would dissipate my entirety, would blow me like thistledown hither and thither or hither and thither like water held in the hands would spill me.Let them not make me a stone and let them not spill me.Otherwise kill me.

To the philosopher, the body is "a disturbing element, hindering the soul from the acquisition of knowledge....What is purification but...the release of the soul from the chains of the body?"
The Socrates of Plato's Phaedo

"A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views. People will not look foward to posterity, who not look backward to their ancestors."
Burke

Does anyone want to take the world and do what he wants with it?
I do not see how he can succeed.

The world is a sacred vessel, which must not be tampered with or grabbed after.
To tamper with it is to spoil it, and to grasp it is to lose it.

In fact, for all things there is a time for going ahead, and a time for following behind;
A time for slow breating and a time for fast breathing;
A time to grow in strenght and a time to decay;
A time to be up and a time to be down.

Therefore the Sage avoids all extremes, excesses and extravagances.
Lao Tzu, Tao Teh Ching.

"We can live in the world, and walk not in the darkness of its ways but in the light of our own understanding of the wisdom that belongs to the one self that trancends yet exists in the heart of every being."

"All are but parts of one stupendous whole,
Whose body Nature is; and God the Soul."

"Worlds without number
Lie in this bosom like children."

"There is above the celestial lights an incorruptible Flame always sparkling; the spring of life, the formation of all beings, the original of all things. This Flame produceth all things, and nothing perisheth by what it consumeth. It maketh itself known by itself... it encompaseth the heavens.

The heart should not fear to approach this adorable fire, or to be touched by it; it will never be consumed by this sweet fire, whose mild and tranquil heat maketh the binding, the harmony, and the duration of the world. Nothing subsisteth but by this fire, which is GOD himself. All is full of GOD, and GOD is in us all." G.R.S Mead
