-Karl Marx(Πιάσε σε ένα άτομο ένα ψάρι, και μπορείς να του το πουλήσεις. Διδάξε ένα άτομο να ψαρευει και καταστρέφεις μια θαυμάσια επιχειρηματική ευκαιρία.)
'In the domain of Political Economy, free scientific inquiry meets not merely the same enemies as in all other domains. The peculiar nature of the material it deals with, summons as foes into the field of battle the most violent, mean and malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of private interest.'
-Karl Marx(Στην περιοχή της πολιτικής οικονομίας, η ελεύθερη επιστημονική έρευνα δεν συναντά τους ίδιους εχθρούς μόνο με όλα τα άλλα πεδία (επιστημών). Η ιδιαίτερη φύση του υλικού που εξετάζει, καλεί ως εχθρους στον τομέα της μάχης τα πιο βιαια, μοχθηρα και κακοήθη πάθη της ανθρώπινης καρδιας, τη μανία του ιδιωτικού συμφέροντος.)

**'Have as your goal to do your best and to make a difference.
We are in the world to make a difference,

it will never again return to its original size.'
...Oliver Wendell Holmes'I do not know what your destiny will be, but one thing I

....Albert Schweitzer'The lot of the many is to have as a profession,
for the earning of their living and the satisfaction
of society's claim on them, a more or less soulless labor
in which they can give out little or nothing of their human qualities,
because in that labor they have to be
little better than human machines.
;Yet no one finds himself in the position of having no possible
opportunity of giving himself to others as a human being.
...No fate can prevent a man from giving to others this
direct human service side by side with his lifework.
If so much of such service remains unrealized,
it is because the opportunities are missed.'
...Albert Schweitzer
Out of My Life and Thought: An Autobiography'the world is not respectable: it is mortal,

and the old man who will not laugh is a fool.

Mother Teresa Books, VHS, DVD'My message is the practice of compassion, love, and kindness.
Compassion can be put into practice if one recognizes the fact
that every human being is a member of humanity and
the human family regardless of differences in religion, culture, color, and creed.
Deep down there is no difference.''We should try never to let our happy frame of mind be disturbed.
Whether we are suffering at present or have suffered in the past,
there is no reason to be unhappy. If we can remedy it, why be unhappy?
And if we cannot, what use is there in being depressed about it?
That just adds more unhappiness and does no good at all.''By developing a sense of respect for others and a concern for their welfare,
we reduce our own selfishness, which is the source of all problems,
and enhance our sense of kindness which is a natural source of goodness.''This is my simple religion.
There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
the philosophy is kindness.'...His holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso

themselves effectively by democratic procedures. A society,
most of whose members spend a great part of their time, not on the spot,

in the irrelevant other worlds of sport and soap opera,
of mythology and metaphysical fantasy, will find it hard to resist
the encroachments of those who would manipulate and control it.'

Brave New World'The courage of a life is often a less dramatic spectacle

And how he relates to a merciless realistic fact like death
can be more important for him than the fact of death itself. '

There is an amazing amount of wisdom on this page,
but remember this quote.....

Don Juan(Carlos Castaneda)
Sorry to have wasted so much of your time only to ruin it by putting it into perspective, but do not worry, you are practicing the greatest quote of all
