Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.

Lao Tzu

It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings.

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.

Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.

Where is this heaven? You have not even the power to see one grain of sand here. Can you see this earth of ours? The earth appears to us to be stationary, and the sun seems to go round us; but if we could get away from our earth, and look down from the sun upon it, we should see that it is moving round the sun in a circle, and that the sun is standing still. So it is with our conceptions of heaven and hell; they are not real, but only human conceptions.
