“One who connects own feelings with the emotions of others becomes the ocean of compassion many rivulets flow into.”
Jonathan Chen
“Don't let what we know stand in the way of what we could know.”
“I have gradually come to a clear identification of the most essential qualities for personal being: Liberty and Compassion. With these qualities, one becomes open-minded without compromising dignity, passionate without surrendering principles, pacifistic without conforming injustice. There is no question whereabouts his will in manifesting justice, peace and a better world.”
“Life enjoys its freedom when there is no secret to hide”
“Ignorance is not due to lack of education. Ignorance is a state of mind that refuses the temptation of looking into the facts, that craves for the twisted, inflammatory interpretation of the facts that nourishes the prejudice in it to stay the course and expand, at the cost of totally dumping the intelligence the Creator put in it.”
“Don't keep blaming the shoes. Maybe it's time to change the path.”
“A democracy is about to be corroded from within when its members join others in voluntary surrendering their ability to make independent judgments and become fanatical repeaters of what they heard from those who have successfully cut the cord links their minds to their hearts and have no interests whatsoever in representing their interests.”
“Perhaps being able to see themselves through reflection is what truly distinguishes mankind.”
“Don't let what we call knowledge wither that precious childhood curiosity, for it is the secret ingredient to keep a heart young.”
“Mistaken not hatred for liberty. Disseminating hatred is an abuse of freedom. Liberty has no room for hatred.”
