Everything is fleeting. Why care? Why become emotional about something which is temporary, which you'll soon forget? Just sit back and observe the transience of everything. You'll see how you waste your energy on trifles. Most things are just not worth fretting about.

The Ancient Sage

It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.

Jacob Bronowski

If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved then worrying will do you no good.

Shantideva

The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is so we might listen more and talk less.

Zeno of Citium

A mind is a fire to be kindled, not a vessel to be filled.

Plutarch

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

Ursula K. LeGuin
