| Quote of the moment |
| I am always quite cheerful! It is, I think, the result of my own practice and training. In my lifetime, I have lost my country and have been reduced to being totally dependent on the goodwill of others. I have also lost my mother, and most of my tutors and gurus have passed away, although I now have a few new gurus. Of course these are tragic incidents, and I feel sad when I think about them. However, I don't feel overwhelmed by sadness. Old, familiar faces disappear, and new faces appear, but I still maintain my happiness and peace of mind. |

| Quote of the moment |
| The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. What is the trouble between capital and labor, what is the trouble in many of our communities, but rather a universal forgetting that this teaching is one of our first obligations. |
| ~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962), First Lady of the United States, author, speaker, and diplomat. As quoted in Eleanor and Franklin, ch. 27, by Joseph P. Lash (1971). Written in 1925, before her husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, had yet been elected President. ~ |

| [Clear the throat] Oh freddled gruntbuggly Thy micturations are to me As plurdled gabbleblotchits On a lurgid bee Fook,I implore thee With thy foonting turlingdromes And drangle me hooptiously In thy blindlewurdles Or I will rend thee In the Gobberwarts With my blurglecruncheon And see if I don't! "In the uttermost West I was Olorin,In the South I am Incanus, among the elves I am Mithrandir,in the North I am Gandalf. To the East,I go not"-rough Tolkien quote from Gandalf. |
