| When you wander, as you often delight to do, you wander indeed, and give never such satisfaction as the curious time requires. This is not caused by any natural defect, but first for want of election, when you, having a large and fruitful mind, should not so much labour what to speak as to find what to leave unspoken. Rich soils are often to be weeded. |
| ~ Francis Bacon, Letter of Expostulation to Coke. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| When others insult, rebuke, and speak unpleasant words to us, although an intolerable pain arises like a thorn in the heart, if we comprehend the teachings then we can recognize the essenceless nature of these words which resemble an echo. So just as when an inanimate object is scolded, we will experience not the slightest mental turmoil. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, July 26, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
