| Agesilaus was very fond of his children; and it is reported that once toying with them he got astride upon a reed as upon a horse, and rode about the room; and being seen by one of his friends, he desired him not to speak of it till he had children of his own. |
| ~ Plutarch, Laconic Apophthegms. Of Agesilaus the Great. ~ |

| You have to understand that the affection I am speaking of has no purpose, it is not given with the intention of getting anything back. It is not a matter of feeling. In the same way we say that real compassion is without attachment. Pay attention to this point, which goes against our habitual ways of thinking. It is not this or that particular case that stirs our pity. We don't give our compassion to such and such a person by choice. We give it spontaneously, entirely, without hoping for anything in exchange. And we give it universally. |

| Emptiness should be understood in the context of dependent arising and it should evoke a sense of fullness, of things created by causes and conditions. We shouldn't think that the self is something that is originally there and then eliminated in meditation; in fact, it is something that never existed in the first place. |

| Quote of the moment |
| In the Virginia resolutions and reports the plural number, States, is in every instance used . . . As I am now known to have drawn these documents, I may say . . . that the distinction was intentional . . . The Kentucky resolutions, being less guarded, have been more easily perverted. |
| ~ Letter to N. P. Trist, December 23, 1832 (James Madison, 1865, IV, page 228) ~ |
