“If there is a lesson in our story it is that the manipulation, according to strictly self-consistent rules, of a set of symbols representing one single aspect of the phenomena may produce correct, verifiable predictions, and yet completely ignore all other aspects whose ensemble constitutes reality.” IfsMaySelfStoriesRealityProduceLessonsAspectSymbolsConsistentManipulationPredictionsRepresentingEnsemble Author:Arthur Koestler
“Let me follow in Thy footsteps, O Jesus ! I would imitate Thee, but cannot without the aid of Thy grace! O humble and lowly Saviour, grant me the knowledge of the true Christian, and that I may willingly despise myself; let me learn the lesson so incomprehensible to the mind of man, that I must die to myself by an abandonment that shall produce true humility.” MenMindMayChristianDiesJesusGraceProduceHumilityLessonsLet MeHumbleAidsTheeGrantsDespiseAbandonmentSaviourFootstepsTrue Humility Author:Francois Fenelon
“If we suppose a sufficient righteousness and intelligence in men to produce presently, from the tremendous lessons of history, an effective will for a world peace - that is to say, an effective will for a world law under a world government - for in no other fashion is a secure world peace conceivable - in what manner may we expect things to move towards this end? . . . It is an educational task, and its very essence is to bring to the minds of all men everywhere, as a necessary basis for world cooperation, a new telling and interpretation, a common interpretation, of history.” IfsMenWorldMindMayEndsGovernmentMovingLawCommonFashionProduceLessonsTasksEssenceBasesEducationalSecureSufficientInterpretationRighteousnessCooperationWorld Government Author:H.

“Every child is born not only with a stomach that has to be catered to, it is also endowed with two hands which can work and produce the food for the stomach. The hands have to be given the strength and skill; they have to learn the lesson of self-reliance. They should never be lazy or slothful. Then, there can be no deficiency in food and no problem of underfeeding.” ShouldChildrenTwoSelfProblemHandsGivenBornProduceLessonsSkillsLazyStomachSelf RelianceNo ProblemRelianceDeficiencyTwo Hands Author:Sathya Sai Baba
“In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one's parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as "self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.” MenYearsChildrenSelfStatesCharacterChristianLawParentGoalBoysProduceTaughtLessonsIdealsAffectionBe GoodPrimariesErasRepublicTraitsSelf ControlKindredChild RearingFamily ManCharacter TraitKindliness Author:C.

“A garden is the place millions of people go to touch the earth, to smell flowers - to use some of that fabled human brain power in the cause of better participating with natural processes in the place they call home. It serves as an art project, an organic produce market, a spiritual practice, a pharmacy. It offers ongoing lessons in ecology, biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology. Gardening imparts an organic perspective on the passage of time. It bestows on its practitioners a genuine sense of admiration for the plants, the soil, the sun, the water.” PeopleHumansArtUseHomeEarthSpiritualCausesProcessWaterNaturalBrainPracticeMillionsSunProduceFlowerPerspectiveLessonsOffersProjectsGardenPlantSmellGenuineSoilBiologyAdmirationChemistryPassagesGardeningEcologyOngoingParticipatingImpartHuman BrainGeologySpiritual PracticePassage Of TimePharmacyBrain PowerMeteorologyArt Projects Author:Jim Nollman
