freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth
and freedom.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the
affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in
others; to leave the world a better place; whether by a healthy child; a
garden, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to
what lies within us.

The great home of the soul is the open road. The soul is neither above or
within; it is a wayfarer down the open road.
- Walt Whitman
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in
time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as
something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his
consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to
our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our
task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of
compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its
beauty.
- Albert Einstein
