    “Your mind can fly to great heights but your parrot-nature keeps pecking on the ground collecting knowledge that burdens the soul. Unlearn everything and embrace madness! Give your profit to the poor, forsake security, live dangerously, insult those who praise you, drink poison, and spill the water of life. Forget reputation, become a disgrace. I was prudent all my life, from now on I embrace madness.” (Rumi, Mathnawi II)

    “Fail you did, but learn from it you can.” ~ Yoda

A Policeman stops him. “Why are you out wandering the streets in the middle of the night?” “Sir,” replies Nasruddin, “If I knew the answer to that question, I Would have been home hours ago!”  ~ From the introduction to ‘The Essential Rumi’ by Coleman Barks

    “Yes, I check my horoscope. And let’s be honest…so do you. But when I check in on my Leo self, I visit astrologer Phil Booth’s site! ” ~ George Stroumboulopoulos

     

    “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” ~ Marcus Aurelius (Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD)
