Collective Knowledge Quotes

“As our president bears no resemblance to a king so we shall see the Senate has no similitude to nobles.

For by these qualities alone are they to obtain their offices, and they will have none of the peculiar qualities and vices of those men who possess power merely because their father held it before them.”

Mindfulness may contribute to a reawakening of this ancient wisdom in ourselves and in others.”
