"Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe,
so no thought or action is without its effects,
present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt."
-Norman Cousins (1912-1990)
"Every beauty which is seen here below by persons
of perception resemble more than anything else that celestial
source from which we all are come...."

"Where"er a noble deed is wrought,
Where"er is spoken a noble thought,
Our hearts in glad surprise
To higher levels rise."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

-Theodore Roosevelt-
"Science may have found a cure for most evils,
but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all-
the apathy of human beings."
