Quotes and Poems of Merit

"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. "~ Jimi Hendrix by way of Oliver Wendell Holmes

"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest." ~ Confucius

"A wise man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks becase he has to say something."- Plato

"He who runs with aggression walks without dignity" Samurai Jack episode 42

"Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong." ~ Lao Zi (Lao-Tzu)

"Truth is the drug of egomaniacs." Kahuna Lamaku.

"Preoccupation with information too often wastes the time needed to act on that information." - Kahuna Lamaku

"Knowledge cuts up the world. Wisdom makes it whole." ~ Brazilian proverb

"If you live with a clear conscience and readily show your appreciation, you will quickly realize that affairs of the heart far outweigh the importance of the intellect in determining whether or not you are leading a meaningful life." Kahuna Lamaku

"Learning is the gradual replacement of fantasy with fact." - Gifford Pinchot

"The trouble with people is not so much with their ignorance as it is with their knowing so many things that are not so." - William Alanson White

"Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it." ~ David Starr Jordan

"To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years, and take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched and none the wiser." ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

"Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society. It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection. The fact of the matter is that the 'real world' is to a large extent unconsciously built up on the language habits of the group ... We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation." - Edward Sapir (1929)

"You've Got To Be Carefully Taught", from South Pacific - Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein

You've got to be taught, to hate and fear,
You've got to be taught, from year to year,
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear,
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are ugly made
And people whose skin is a different shade.
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught, before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught,
You've got to be carefully taught

"It is commonly, but erroneously, believed that it is easy to ask questions. A fool, it is said, can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer. The fact is that a wise man can answer many questions that a fool cannot ask." - Cassius J. Keyser

"The true meaning of a term is to be found by observing what a man does with it, not by what he says about it." - P.W. Bridgeman

"God may forgive your sins. But your nervous system won't." - Alfred Korzybski

"The world we have created today as a result of our thinking thus far has problems which cannot be solved by thinking the way we thought when we created them." - Albert Einstein

"A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices." - William James

"It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and only lukewarm defenders among those who may do well under the new." - Machiavelli

"Act as if the future of the universe depends on what you do, while laughing at yourself for thinking that your actions make any difference." - Buddhist saying

"If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing poorly." - Gifford Pinchot, attributed to G.K. Chesterton

Re: Leaving "Shaman" (in Shamanism) Hi Kalona. When are you going to take responsibility for what's happening in your life? I encourage you to actually practice your religion instead of talking about it. I truly want you to be happy and to appreciate your life but, you seem dete... read more

Re: something I read (in Shamanism) Hi *G A I A*. I appreciate your kind heart. There are dynamics you may be unaware of being a novice. It may be different when tribal people get healing from their shamans or medicine men. However, there is almost always a small gift even if an... read more

Re: too long didn't read. (in Shamanism) Hi Takeshi. If you read something and comment before you really understand then you may feel ashamed. It's better to try to understand and participate than to give up. Kalona doesn't have a nickels worth of common sense. Pay him no attention w... read more

Re: something I read (in Shamanism) Hi Kalona. I find that when people lose their temper and throw accusations around it's because they are in the wrong and it makes them angry. This is where you are. Completely and utterly wrong. You have no basis for your accusations. It's ho... read more

Re: something I read (in Shamanism) Well said. Thank you. I fail to be able to fathom how a healer could ever get rich. The ones who are rich are the spiritual leaders with followings. I wouldn't put them in a healer category per se. Cheers, Lamaku.
