A bit of perspective never hurts:

We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.

- Carl Sagan


I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth; I am a citizen of the world. -- Eugene V. Debs

I am in deep love with philosophers, here are a few.
"One is not born a woman, but one becomes one."
Simone de Beauvoir.
"Art is the proper task of life"
Friedrich Nietzsche.
"A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants"
Arthur Schopenhauer.

Artists have good quotes too.
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"
Leonardo da Vinci.
"A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it."
Michelangelo

Poets are great also.
"I love not man the less, but Nature the more."
Lord Byron
"Beauty is not caused. It is."
Emily Dickinson.
"Even were sleep conerned, too much is a bad thing"
Homer

Finally, in to finish my quotes, I have writers and novelists.
"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
J.R.R. Tolkien

Thank you for reading my text. It has a lot of my favorite writers, philosopher sna dpoets. I just want to say that I forgot Shakespeare by accident.

Man made time. There fore it is as real as the chair you sit in. Man made time. Man can destroy it. Demolish it. And governmant can take it away.

When the going seems all uphill, just think of the view from the top.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

My signature is just the end of my favorite quote:

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway."
-Mother Teresa

-R. Kelly 'I Believe I Can Fly'

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart in a heartless world, just as it is the spirit in a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people."
