"[The White Men] made us many promises, more than I can remember. But they kept but one -- They promised to take our land ... and they took it." (Red Cloud, 1909)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
A painter who, like Botticelli, is engaged in the search for the divine, cannot be faulted for using earthly materials in his paintings. Likewise, to reproach those mystics with loving God by means of the faculty of sexual love is as though one were to reproach a painter [for] making pictures by means of colours composed of material substances. We haven’t anything else with which to love.
-- Simone Weil
Unmask your talents.
Climb to new heights. Be curious. Avoid junk food. Enjoy the night life. (Advice from a raccoon)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
Where everyone is not, that's where happiness is. ~ some German poet (apparently)
Doing searches for stuff lately has been fruitless.
"Never trust a fox. Looks like a dog, behaves like a cat."
~ Erin Hunter
"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all." (Stanley Horowitz)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)

"I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees." (Henry David Thoreau)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
"... legislators and rulers, civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world and through all time: That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical..."

"Life is easier when we're nice to each other."
Michael J. Fox
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
‘Ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus.’ - Scottish song lyric (and good advice)

‘I can’t be having with this.’ - Esmeralda Weatherwax
