I would rather be ashes than dust; I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot; I would rather be in a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow than in a sleepy and permanent planet; the proper function of man is to live, not to exist; I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them; I shall USE my time.
–Jack London
Time is the path of spiritual unfoldment, whilst Conscious Intelligence is the quality and fulfilment of time.
–Alfred J. Parker
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
Universality of mind is expressed as clarity of thought, bigness of concept, freedom within mind to experience placidity, happiness, relaxation, and contentment.
–Kabalarian Writings
