“Pleasure is the object, duty and the goal of all rational creatures.”
Voltaire
“It is my belief that a persons ultimate goal in life should be the ability to be able to please ones self.”
Richard 'Grimesy' Grimes
“Indeed, so far from being humorous, the male American is the most abnormally serious creature who ever existed.... It is only fair to admit that he can exaggerate, but even his exaggeration has a rational basis. It is not founded on wit or fancy; it does not spring from any poetic imagination....”
Oscar Wilde
“If you were not a sinful, polluted, helpless, and miserable creature, this Savior would not be suited to you, and you would not be comprehended in his gracious invitations to the children of men.”
Archibald Alexander
“The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life”
Albert Einstein
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
“Believe that it can be done. Connect with a source of courage, strength and hope that will give you the power to do it. Share your dream only with those who believe in you, believe in your dream, and will lovingly tell you the truth. Avoid negative people who tell you it can't be done because they can discourage you and hold you back. A good plan is made in a moment of rational confidence to be used in a moment of irrational fear and doubt.”
Terence T. Gorski
