To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

@mcbride.house.gov is right. It’s hard enough being a kid — and politicians don’t need to make it harder.

Thank you, Congresswoman, for speaking out against the cruel Republican attacks on health care for trans youth.

1: I do not post often but it is time for action. It is time to evaluate charitable giving efficiently. NPR is very important in my life and I believe it can have an impact on others connecting with each other and staying informed.

Folks in the US: fight harder than you have ever fought for science - and then some. 🔭☄️

Anything less than that will be the beginning of the end of science in America.

I am wondering what others are thinking. Are you better off now, more than you were 4 months ago?

The dangers of not thinking clearly are much greater now than ever before. It's not that there's something new in our way of thinking - it's that credulous and confused thinking can be much more lethal in ways it was never before.

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
