var fortunes=new Array(" One learns to itch where one can scratch. -- Ernest Bramah "," One meets his destiny often on the road he takes to avoid it. "," One monk said to the other, \"The fish has flopped out of the net! How will it live?\" The other said, \"When you have gotten out of the net, I'll tell you.\" "," Only that in you which is me can hear what I'm saying. -- Baba Ram Dass "," Only those who leisurely approach that which the masses are busy about can be busy about that which the masses take leisurely. -- Lao Tsu "," Paradise is exactly like where you are right now ... only much, much better. -- Laurie Anderson "," Perfection is reached, not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery "," Perhaps the biggest disappointments were the ones you expected anyway.

"," Reality is nothing but a collective hunch. -- Lily Tomlin "," \"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away\". -- Philip K. Dick "," Remember, Grasshopper, falling down 1000 stairs begins by tripping over the first one. -- Confusion "," Rule of Life #1 -- Never get separated from your luggage. "," Seeing is believing. You wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't believed it. "," Since everything in life is but an experience perfect in being what it is, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter. -- Long Chen Pa "," So little time, so little to do. -- Oscar Levant "," Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. -- Seneca "," Sometimes you get an almost irresistible urge to go on living. "," Standards are different for all things, so the standard set by man is by no means the only 'certain' standard. If you mistake what is relative for something certain, you have strayed far from the ultimate truth. -- Chuang Tzu "," Suffering alone exists, none who suffer; The deed there is, but no doer thereof; Nirvana is, but no one is seeking it; The Path there is, but none who travel it. -- \"Buddhist Symbolism\", Symbols and Values "," Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes a-begging. -- Martin Luther "," Take your dying with some seriousness, however. Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less advanced life forms, and they'll call you crazy. -- \"Messiah's Handbook: Reminders for the Advanced Soul\" "," That that is is that that is not is not. "," That, that is, is. That, that is not, is not. That, that is, is not that, that is not. That, that is not, is not that, that is. "," The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth. -- A. Camus "," The best you get is an even break. -- Franklin Adams "," \"The chain which can be yanked is not the eternal chain.\" -- G. Fitch "," The chief cause of problems is solutions. -- Eric Sevareid "," The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions. -- Alfred Adler "," The days are all empty and the nights are unreal.

Fuss, the god of the Southern Ocean, and Fret, the god of the Northern Ocean, happened once to meet in the realm of Chaos, the god of the center. Chaos treated them very handsomely and they discussed together what they could do to repay his kindness. They had noticed that, whereas everyone else had seven apertures, for sight, hearing, eating, breathing and so on, Chaos had none. So they decided to make the experiment of boring holes in him. Every day they bored a hole, and on the seventh day, Chaos died. -- Chuang Tzu "," The farther you go, the less you know. -- Lao Tsu, \"Tao Te Ching\" "," The final delusion is the belief that one has lost all delusions. -- Maurice Chapelain, \"Main courante\" "," The first requisite for immortality is death. -- Stanislaw Lem "," The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves. -- Sophocles "," The longest part of the journey is said to be the passing of the gate. -- Marcus Terentius Varro "," The major sin is the sin of being born. -- Samuel Beckett "," The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. -- Messiah's Handbook : Reminders for the Advanced Soul "," The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be. -- Lao Tsu "," The more you complain, the longer God lets you live. "," The moss on the tree does not fear the talons of the hawk. "," The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind. -- H.L. Mencken "," The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions. "," The only happiness lies in reason; all the rest of the world is dismal. The highest reason, however, I see in the work of the artist, and he may experience it as such. Happiness lies in the swiftness of feeling and thinking: all the rest of the world is slow, gradual and stupid. Whoever could feel the course of a light ray would be very happy, for it is very swift. Thinking of oneself gives little happiness. If, however, one feels much happiness in this, it is because at bottom one is not thinking of oneself but of one's ideal. This is far, and only the swift shall reach it and are delighted. -- Nietzsche "," The optimist thinks that this is the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist knows it. -- J. Robert Oppenheimer, \"Bulletin of Atomic Scientists\" "," Yet creeds mean very little, Coth answered the dark god, still speaking almost gently. The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true. -- James Cabell, \"The Silver Stallion\" "," The Poems, all three hundred of them, may be summed up in one of their phrases: \"Let our thoughts be correct\". -- Confucius "," The price of success in philosophy is triviality. -- C. Glymour. "," The questions remain the same. The answers are eternally variable. "," The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet. -- Damon Runyon "," The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. -- Francis Bacon "," The savior becomes the victim. "," The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears. "," The state of innocence contains the germs of all future sin. -- Alexandre Arnoux, \"Etudes et caprices\" "," The true way goes over a rope which is not stretched at any great height but just above the ground. It seems more designed to make people stumble than to be walked upon. -- Franz Kafka "," The truth is rarely pure, and never simple. -- Oscar Wilde "," The truth is what is; what should be is a dirty lie. -- Lenny Bruce "," The truth of a thing is the feel of it, not the think of it. -- Stanley Kubrick "," The truth you speak has no past and no future. It is, and that's all it needs to be. "," The world is your exercise-book, the pages on which you do your sums. It is not reality, although you can express reality there if you wish. You are also free to write nonsense, or lies, or to tear the pages. -- Messiah's Handbook : Reminders for the Advanced Soul "," There are no accidents whatsoever in the universe. -- Baba Ram Dass "," There are no winners in life, only survivors.

"," To have died once is enough. -- Publius Vergilius Maro (Virgil) "," To lead people, you must follow behind. -- Lao Tsu "," Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now -- always. -- Albert Schweitzer "," Truth is hard to find and harder to obscure. "," Truth never comes into the world but like a bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her birth. -- Milton "," Two men came before Nasrudin when he was magistrate. The first man said, \"This man has bitten my ear -- I demand compensation.\" The second man said, \"He bit it himself.\" Nasrudin withdrew to his chambers, and spent an hour trying to bite his own ear. He succeeded only in falling over and bruising his forehead. Returning to the courtroom, Nasrudin pronounced, \"Examine the man whose ear was bitten. If his forehead is bruised, he did it himself and the case is dismissed. If his forehead is not bruised, the other man did it and must pay three silver pieces.\" "," Two men were sitting over coffee, contemplating the nature of things, with all due respect for their breakfast. \"I wonder why it is that toast always falls on the buttered side,\" said one. \"Tell me,\" replied his friend, \"why you say such a thing. Look at this.\" And he dropped his toast on the floor, where it landed on the dry side. \"So, what have you to say for your theory now?\" \"What am I to say? You obviously buttered the wrong side.\" "," Waste not fresh tears over old griefs. -- Euripides "," We can embody the truth, but we cannot know it. -- Yates "," We have nowhere else to go... this is all we have. -- Margaret Mead "," We have only two things to worry about: That things will never get back to normal, and that they already have. "," We have reason to be afraid. This is a terrible place. -- John Berryman "," We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest. -- Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horace) "," We're all in this alone. -- Lily Tomlin "," We're mortal -- which is to say, we're ignorant, stupid, and sinful -- but those are only handicaps. Our pride is that nevertheless, now and then, we do our best. A few times we succeed. What more dare we ask for? -- Ensign Flandry "," \"We're not talking about the same thing,\" he said. \"For you the world is weird because if you're not bored with it you're at odds with it. For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must accept responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I wanted to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.\" -- Don Juan "," Well, he thought, since neither Aristotelian Logic nor the disciplines of Science seemed to offer much hope, it's time to go beyond them... Drawing a few deep even breaths, he entered a mental state practiced only by Masters of the Universal Way of Zen. In it his mind floated freely, able to rummage at will among the bits and pieces of data he had absorbed, undistracted by any outside disturbances. Logical structures no longer inhibited him. Pre-conceptions, prejudices, ordinary human standards vanished. All things, those previously trivial as well as those once thought important, became absolutely equal by acquiring an absolute value, revealing relationships not evident to ordinary vision. Like beads strung on a string of their own meaning, each thing pointed to its own common ground of existence, shared by all. Finally, each began to melt into each, staying itself while becoming all others. And Mind no longer contemplated Problem, but became Problem, destroying Subject-Object by becoming them. Time passed, unheeded. Eventually, there was a tentative stirring, then a decisive one, and Nakamura arose, a smile on his face and the light of laughter in his eyes. -- Wayfarer "," Well, you know, no matter where you go, there you are. -- Buckaroo Banzai "," \"Well,\" Brahma said, \"even after ten thousand explanations, a fool is no wiser, but an intelligent man requires only two thousand five hundred.\" -- The Mahabharata. "," What does not destroy me, makes me stronger. -- Nietzsche "," What makes the universe so hard to comprehend is that there's nothing to compare it with. "," What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy? -- Ursula K. LeGuin "," What we Are is God's gift to us. What we Become is our gift to God. "," Whatever occurs from love is always beyond good and evil. -- Friedrich Nietzsche "," Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. -- Gandhi "," When it's dark enough you can see the stars. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson, "," When the speaker and he to whom he is speaks do not understand, that is metaphysics. -- Voltaire "," When the wind is great, bow before it; when the wind is heavy, yield to it. "," When you are young, you enjoy a sustained illusion that sooner or later something marvelous is going to happen, that you are going to transcend your parents' limitations... At the same time, you feel sure that in all the wilderness of possibility; in all the forests of opinion, there is a vital something that can be known -- known and grasped. That we will eventually know it, and convert the whole mystery into a coherent narrative. So that then one's true life -- the point of everything -- will emerge from the mist into a pure light, into total comprehension. But it isn't like that at all. But if it isn't, where did the idea come from, to torture and unsettle us? -- Brian Aldiss, \"Helliconia Summer\" "," When you die, you lose a very important part of your life. -- Brooke Shields "," Who does not trust enough will not be trusted. -- Lao Tsu "," Wisdom is knowing what to do with what you know. -- J. Winter Smith "," Wisdom is rarely found on the best-seller list. "," [Wisdom] is a tree of life to those laying hold of her, making happy each one holding her fast. -- Proverbs 3:18, NSV "," With listening comes wisdom, with speaking repentance. "," Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder. -- Socrates, quoting Plato [Huh? That's like Johnson quoting Boswell] "," Work Hard. Rock Hard. Eat Hard. Sleep Hard. Grow Big. Wear Glasses If You Need 'Em. -- The Webb Wilder Credo "," Yes, but which self do you want to be? "," You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. -- R. Bach, \"Messiah's Handbook : Reminders for the Advanced Soul\" "," You can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. -- Tim Leary "," You can get *anywhere* in ten minutes if you drive fast enough. "," You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the tracks. "," You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. -- Jeannette Rankin "," You can observe a lot just by watching. -- Yogi Berra "," You can only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. "," You can't get there from here. "," You can't mend a wristwatch while falling from an airplane. "," You can't push on a string. "," You can't run away forever, But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start. -- Jim Steinman, \"Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through\" "," \"You can't survive by sucking the juice from a wet mitten.\" -- Charles Schulz, \"Things I've Had to Learn Over and Over and Over\" "," You can't take it with you -- especially when crossing a state line. "," You climb to reach the summit, but once there, discover that all roads lead down. -- Stanislaw Lem, \"The Cyberiad\" "," You have all eternity to be cautious in when you're dead. -- Lois Platford "," You have to run as fast as you can just to stay where you are. If you want to get anywhere, you'll have to run much faster. -- Lewis Carroll "," \"You mean, if you allow the master to be uncivil, to treat you any old way he likes, and to insult your dignity, then he may deem you fit to hear his view of things?\" \"Quite the contrary. You must defend your integrity, assuming you have integrity to defend. But you must defend it nobly, not by imitating his own low behavior. If you are gentle where he is rough, if you are polite where he is uncouth, then he will recognize you as potentially worthy. If he does not, then he is not a master, after all, and you may feel free to kick his ass.\" -- Tom Robbins, \"Jitterbug Perfume\" "," You will always find something in the last place you look. "," \"You would do well not to imagine profundity,\" he said. \"Anything that seems of momentous occasion should be dwelt upon as though it were of slight note. Conversely, trivialities must be attended to with the greatest of care. Because death is momentous, give it no thought; because victory is important, give it no thought; because the method of achievement and discovery is less momentous than the effect, dwell always upon the method. You will strengthen yourself in this way.\" -- Jessica Salmonson, \"The Swordswoman\" "," Your happiness is intertwined with your outlook on life. "," Your mind understands what you have been taught; your heart, what is true. "," Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah. The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in awhile and watch your answers change. -- Messiah's Handbook : Reminders for the Advanced Soul "," Your picture of the world often changes just before you get it into focus. "," Your wig steers the gig. -- Lord Buckley "," You may be marching to the beat of a different drummer, but you're still in the parade. "," The universe is made of stories, not of atoms. -- Muriel Rukeyser "," Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you. -- Jean-Paul Sartre "," There is a secret person undamaged within every individual. -- Paul Shepard "," We are governed not by armies and police but by ideas. -- Mona Caird, 1892 "," The first rule of all intelligent tinkering is to keep all the parts. -- Aldo Leopold, quoted in Donald Wurster's \"Nature's Economy\" "," You must be the change you wish to see in the world. --Mahatma Gandhi "," No people are all bad, just as none are all good. Tecumseh, (Shawnee) to his nephew Spemica Lawba 1790 "," My reason tells me that land cannot be sold - nothing can be sold but such things as can be carried away. Black Hawk, (Saulk) "," Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the great sea, as well as the earth? Did not the Great Spirit make them all for the use of his children? Tecumseh, (Shawnee) "," Free yourself from negative influence. Negative thoughts are the old habits that gnaw at the roots of the soul. Moses Shongo, (Seneca) "," ...everything on this earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence. Mourning Dove, (Salish 1888-1936) "," \"Der bestirnte Himmel über mir und das moralische Gesetz in mir\" that is \"The starry sky above me, and the Moral Law inside me.\" - The epigraph on Kant's tombstone. "," The words fly away, the writings remain. "," I am what you will be; I was what you are. "," The people rule. "," Perhaps the remembrance of these things will prove a source of future pleasure. -- Virgil" );
