• If we are demoralized, sad and only complain, we’ll not solve our problems. If we only pray for a solution, we’ll not solve our problems. We need to face them, to deal with them without violence, but with confidence - and never give up. If you adopt a non-violent approach, but are also hesitant within, you’ll not succeed. You have to have confidence and keep up your efforts - in other words, never give up.

  Dalai Lama

  Giving Up, Effort, Faces

• When the tribal groups of december trade
  Seated in the figure of crocodile
  And songs are sung and deals discussed, are made
  Real. All... For more than one reason they smile.
  These codes are writ in secret, feeling fine
  To keep what's private to my self since we
  All must face our maker in our own ryhme
  And reasons for being ( from regrets) free
  So let the memory of your glory
  Be the tenderness heartfelt love starkly
  In the sky of my mind vast and pretty
  Evermore glittering simplicity
  Where in the truth of country grows sober
  And sunshines through fog to radiate wonder

  John Armstrong

And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.

  Philip K. Dick

• Every dictator is a mystic, and every mystic is a potential dictator. A mystic craves obedience from men, not their agreement. He wants them to surrender their consciousness to his assertions, his edicts, his wishes, his whims - as his consciousness is surrendered to theirs. He wants to deal with men by means of faith and force - he finds no satisfaction in their consent if he must earn it by means of facts and reason.
