“To afford protection to certain Scottish merchants who were going to Bremen, Lubeck and Hamburg to trade, and promising protection to the merchants of the Hanseatic League, when their mercantile affairs should bring them to Scotland. If they read the the records of any other countries of that time, notably those of the Genoese and Venetian Republics and many others shortly after they were instituted, they would find a widely different spirit to that which animated the national hero of Scotland. Nearly every one of those other Republics cut themselves off by inpenetrable walls of protection - by arms, by tariffs, and by sustoms - in order that their merchants should be protected: but Wallace understood clearly that there could be no international goodwill without international reciprocity and protection to the merchants of the various nationalities.”

The ego, often loud and insistent, speaks in tones of desire and doubt, pride and prejudice, shaped by the external world and its ceaseless demands. The essence, on the other hand, whispers in the language of intuition and inner truth, a language as old as the universe itself, resonating with the frequencies of love, compassion, and authenticity.”

All this decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis, spoken or written, or even thought out.”

“To all in the village I seemed, no doubt,
To go this way and that way, aimlesssly.
But here by the river you can see at twilight
The soft-winged bats fly zig-zag here and there-
They must fly so to catch their food.
And if you have ever lost your way at night
In the deep wood near Miller's Ford,
And dodged this way and now that,
Wherever the light of the Milky Way shone through,
Trying to find the path,
You should understand I sought the way
With earnest zeal, and all my wanderings
Were wanderings in the quest.”

Speak kind words
to mankind
and the unkind
will attack you.
Speak common sense
using any of your senses,
and you will be attacked by

Speak truth,
and you will be attacked by
the untruthful.
Speak about absolutely nothing,
and absolutely nothing
will speak back,
but then nothing at all
will ever change.”
