The power of human thought grows exponentially with the number of minds that share that thought.

Wide acceptance of an idea is not proof of its validity.

Knowledge grows exponentially. The more we know, the greater our ability to learn, and the faster we expand our knowledge base.

Imagine how different a world might be if more leaders took time to ponder the finality of death before racing off to war.

Time is a river...and books are boats. Many volumes start down that stream, only to be wrecked and lost beyond recall in its sands. Only a few, a very few, endure the testings of time and live to bless the ages following.

Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true...written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us...vibrating with our unconscious wisdom.

Sometimes a change of perspective is all it takes to see the light.

Don't show it and don't panic. Do like the ducks; on the surface stay calm, and below it paddle lile hell

TRUTH." "Maybe there is a universal truth embedded in everyone's soul. Maybe we all have the same story hiding inside, like a shared constant in our DNA.

The act of tattooing one's skin was a tranformative declaration of power, an announcment to the world: I am in control of my own flesh.
