http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/jul/23/mediamonkey

Overheard

“Even on the most exalted throne in the world we are only sitting on our own bottom.”

...who said it?

“Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”

...who said it?

“A man should ever be ready booted to take his journey.”

...who said it?

“From Obedience and submission comes all our virtues, and all sin is comes from self-opinion.”

...who said it?

“Man is the only animal whose existence is a problem that he has to solve.”

...who said it?
