| "Well," said Pooh, "what I like best ---" and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey _was_ a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. |

| Quote of the moment |
| What irritates us in the first place is that our wishes are not fulfilled. But remaining upset does nothing to help fulfill those wishes. So we neither fulfill our wishes nor regain our cheerfulness! This disconcerted state, from which anger can grow, is most dangerous. We should try never to let our happy frame of mind be disturbed. Whether we are suffering at present or have suffered in the past, there is no reason to be unhappy. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, February 22, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Arthur felt happy. He was terribly pleased that the day was for once working out so much according to plan. Only twenty minutes ago he had decided he would go mad, and now here he was already chasing a Chesterfield sofa across the fields of prehistoric Earth. |

| I was perfectly certain that I had nothing to offer of an individual nature and that my only chance of doing my duty as the wife of a public official was to do exactly as the majority of women were doing ... |

| Liberty requires opportunity to make a living—a living decent according to the standard of the time, a living which gives a man not only enough to live by, but something to live for. |

| Quote of the moment |
| We eschew the path of mundane power, for the healing spirit naturally follows the path of the spirit; it abides not in the stone of fine buildings, nor in the gold of images, nor in the silk from which robes are fashioned, nor even in the paper of holy writ, but in the ineffable substance of the mind and the heart of man. We are free to follow its dictates as laid down by the great teachers - to sublimate our heart's instincts and purify our thoughts. Through actual practice in his daily life, man well fulfills the aim of all religion, whatever his denomination. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, October 31, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
