Experiment, test your limits and be engaged in creating a better life

It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

- Richard P. Feynman


Philosophy is written in this grand book - I mean the Universe - which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.

- Galileo Galilei


Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life; not a philosophy of life, but a life and a living process.

-  Samuel Taylor Coleridge



Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.


- don Miguel Ruiz



“Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be.”


- Bob Dylan




Animals learn death first at the moment of death;... man approaches death with the knowledge it is closer every hour, and this creates a feeling of uncertainty over his life, even for him who forgets in the business of life that annihilation is awaiting him. It is for this reason chiefly that we have philosophy and religion.

-  (Arthur Schopenhauer: The World as Will and Idea)



 

"Victory belongs to the most persevering."

- Napoleon
