Art of Learning...

The act of learning is the act of pure observation. And to learn one must have leisure. Leisure means a mind that is not constantly preoccupied but has infinite time to observe. To observe what is happening around one and within onself.

~ J.Krishnamurti

Compassion...

"Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human “brain” with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human “heart” with compassion. This is what the real role of religion is."

- Dalai Lama
