Mitsugi Saotome: Quote for June 13, 2009

If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.

Prot: Quote for June 12, 2009

Let me tell you something, Mark. You humans, most of you, subscribe to this policy of "an eye for an eye, a life for a life," which is known throughout the universe for its stupidity. Even your Buddha and your Christ had quite a different vision, but nobody's paid much attention to them, not even the Buddhists or Christians. You humans, sometimes its hard to imagine how you've made it this far.

Kalidasa: Quote for June 11, 2009

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Julio Madariaga: Quote for June 10, 2009

Look at them, how they dance tonight, just as in the Apocalypse. Conquest! War! Pestilence! Death! And the power was given unto them to kill with the sword, and with hunger, and with the beasts of the earth.
Lee J. Cobb acted as Julio Madariaga

Laurence J. Peter: Quote for June 9, 2009

Real, constructive mental power lies in the creative thought that shapes your destiny, and your hour-by-hour mental conduct produces power for change in your life. Develop a train of thought on which to ride. The nobility of your life as well as your happiness depends upon the direction in which that train of thought is going.

Mother Teresa: Quote for June 7, 2009

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is a beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is life, fight for it!

Bill: Quote for June 6, 2009

Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.

Velupillai Prabhakaran: Quote for June 5, 2009

All human suffering springs from unbridled desire. Unless one extricates oneself from the clutch of greed, one will not free himself from the fetters of sorrow.
Velupillai Prabhakaran is the leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a group that wants independence for certain regions of Sri Lanka. Many countries consider this organization as a terrorist group.

From the above quote, we can see that even an alleged terrorist knows what one of the world's leading problems is: Greed.

Harry Lime: Quote for June 4, 2009

In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

Dean Radin: Quote for June 3, 2009

We might call the present era the 'Age of Information," and the zeitgeist is a quantum computer. ... The concept of mind is viewed as a dynamic, cybernetic inter-play between a complex physical structure (the brain) and an emergent process (the mind), with brain imagined to be primary driver of the process. Increasing numbers of scientists are beginning to ponder the role that quantum theory plays in the brain and in creating or sustaining consciousness.

Dr. Uffe Ravnskov: Quote for June 1, 2009

People with high cholesterol live the longest. This statement seems so incredible that it takes a long time to clear one's brainwashed mind to fully understand its importance. Yet the fact that people with high cholesterol live the longest emerges clearly from many scientific papers. Consider the finding of Dr. Harlan Krumholz of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale University, who reported in 1994 that old people with low cholesterol died twice as often from a heart attack as did old people with a high cholesterol. Supporters of the cholesterol campaign consistently ignore his observation, or consider it as a rare exception, produced by chance among a huge number of studies finding the opposite.

But it is not an exception; there are now a large number of findings that contradict the lipid hypothesis. To be more specific, most studies of old people have shown that high cholesterol is not a risk factor for coronary heart disease.

Gustave Flaubert: Quote for May 31, 2009

Men may dislike truth, men may find truth offensive and inconvenient, men may persecute the truth, subvert it, try by law to suppress it. But to maintain that men have the final power over truth is blasphemy, and the last delusion. Truth lives forever, men do not.
from: Madame Bovary (1949)
James Mason acted as Gustave Flaubert
