| Our laws make law impossible; our liberties destroy all freedom; our property is organized robbery; our morality an impudent hypocrisy; our wisdom is administered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes; our power wielded by cowards and weaklings; and our honour false in all its points. I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons. -- George Bernard Shaw |
| Author: Shaw, George BernardEra: 1856 |

Use them as they will thee, for if thou sparest them and they take root and grow, know well, these thoughts will overpower and kill thee. Beware! Suffer not their shadow to approach.

| What is thought? It is not Matter, nor Spirit. It is not a Thing; but a power and Force. I make upon a paper certain conventional marks, that represent that Thought. There is no power or Virtue in the marks I write, but only in the Thought which they tell to others. I die, but the Thought still lives. It is a power. The fact that Thought continues to exist an instant, after it makes its appearance in the soul, proves it immortal: for there is nothing conceivable that can destroy it. The spoken words, being mere sounds, may vanish into thin air, and the written ones,mere marks, be burned, erased, destroyed: but the THOUGHT itself lives still, and must live on forever. -- Albert Pike |

| Ambition has but one reward for all: A little power, a little transient fame; A grave to rest in, and a fading name! -- William Winter |

| The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness, and "consciousness" cannot evolve unconsciously. The evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and "will" cannot evolve involuntarily.

| ...The eternal vital power builds them in the likeness of older worlds, placing them on the Imperishable Centres. How does he build them? He collects the fiery dust. He makes balls of fire, runs through them, and round them, infusing life there into, then sets them into motion; some one way, some the other way. They are cold, he makes them hot. They are dry, he makes them moist. They shine, he fans and cools them. Thus he acts from one twilight to the other, during Seven Eternities. -- Book of Dzyan |
