Some Quotes After LeaderShape

I sent a really nice email to Erica on Monday & left a really nice phone message on Friday so hopefully I'll find out how the last two days of LeaderShape went. Sorry I had to leave a bit early but I had a blast & I hope to be able to get in touch with everyone I met there. It was an amazing experience & I learned a lot about myself. I just realized I had this old blogspot site so here's the link to my new site: http://xu2mofox27.blogspot.com

I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. I refuse to live in other people's houses as an interloper, a beggar or a slave.
- Mahatma Mohandas Gandhiji

An Education System which merely Informs but does not Instruct, trains the head but not the heart and soul of the student, has disastrous effect on the society.

Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character;

Where there is justice in the nation, there is peace in the world.

When I Asked God for Strength

When I Asked God for Brain & Brown

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Amen
- Prayer of Sant Francis of Assisi

"You are the makers of your own fortunes. You make yourselves suffer,
you make good and evil, and it is you who put your hands before your
eyes and say it is dark. Take your hands away and see the light."

"Who will give the world light? Sacrifice in the past has been the
Law, it will be, alas, for ages to come. The earth's bravest and best
will have to sacrifice themselves for the good of many, for the
welfare of all."

"Come out into the universe of Light. Everything in the universe is
yours, stretch out your arms and embrace it with love. If you ever
felt you wanted to do that, you have felt God."
- Swami Vivekananda

poem: The Secret Sits
We dance round in a ring and suppose,
But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.
