When they came to arrest the Jews, I did not say anything, because I was
not Jewish.
When they came to arrest the communists, I did not say anything, because I was not a
communist.
When they came to arrest the homosexuals, I did not say anything, because I was not
homosexual.
When they came to arrest me, nobody was left to speak for me.
(Niemöller)
Because we are on a spiral, we always feel as if we and the world would
move on a circle.
(Teilhard de

)
There is one thing stronger than all the armies of the world
and that is an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Arthur Schopenhauer
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Gandhi
Each journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
A vision without a task is but a dream.
A task without a vision is drudgery.
A vision with a task is the hope of the world.
Nobody is the whole of himself, his friends are the rest of him.
(By Nagendra, a friend from Nepal I met at YLI)
Memento mori.
(AKA: Don't take yourself too important. My opinion.)
The purpose of Life
Is To Matter, To Count,
To Stand Up For Something
To Change Things For The Better
To Have It Make A Difference That We Lived At All!
Everything that does not kill you,
makes you stronger.
Si vous avez plus peur de changement que du malheur, pas étonnant que
vous soyez malheureux...
(Sent to me by a friend; Marion Belisle)
