The willow which bends to the
tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great
calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their
elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character. - Albert Schweitzer
When any government, or any church
for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, “This you may not read, this you
must not see, this you are forbidden to know”, the end result is tyranny and
oppression no matter how holy the motives. - Robert Heinlein
A certain degree of physical
harmony and comfort is necessary, but above a certain level it becomes a
hindrance instead of a help. Therefore the ideal of creating an unlimited
number of wants and satisfying them seems to be a delusion and a snare. - Mahatma Gandhi
