Our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”

“Since you cannot do good to all,
you are to pay special attention to those who,
by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances,
are brought into closer connection with you.”
-Augustine of Hippo
“All things are connected like the blood that unites us.
We do not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.”

"Body language is a very powerful tool.
We had body language before we had speech,
and apparently, 80% of what you understand in
a conversation is read through the body, not the words."
–Deborah Bull
Electric communication will never be
a substitute for the face of someone
who with their soul encourages another
person to be brave and true."

it is those little bits of good put together
that overwhelm the world.”
“The true meaning of life is to plant trees,
under whose shade you do not expect to sit”
“There is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it.
If only we are brave enough to be it.”
So please, parents,
teachers and other custodians of our children’s future,
let us not confine our children to a syllabus.
Let us expose them to life, and of course, also to academics.
Let us not only count their marks, but also, make their life count.
As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility
to deal with all species with kindness, love, and compassion.
That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding.
Please help to stop this madness. — Richard
Gere
The vitality of thought is in adventure.
Ideas won't keep.
Something must be done about them.
When the idea is new, its custodians have fervor,
live for it, and if need be, die for it.
— Alfred North Whitehead
People don't want to believe that technology is broken.
Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology
- all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think.
And the question is why.
The creative arts will enter a golden age,
as AI-augmented artists, musicians, writers,
and filmmakers gain the ability to realize their
visions far faster and at greater scale than ever before.
AI art gives people who otherwise lack technical skills
the freedom to create and share their artistic ideas.
“You're stressing too much about what might be.
Do something to take your mind off thinking
about what might never happen.”

“Every thinking person fears nuclear war,
and every technological state plans for it.
and every nation has an excuse”

“Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions,
binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs.
Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of magic.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos
“Memories are never entirely silent.
They murmur in your cells, shadow the mind, knock at the door.”
