I find man utterly unaware of what his wealth is or his fundamental capability is. He says time and again, "We can't afford it." For instance, we are saying now that we can't afford to do anything about pollution but after the costs of not doing something about pollution have multiplied many fold beyond what it would cost to correct it now, we will spend many fold what it would cost us now to correct it.

Nature does have manure and she does have roots as well as blossoms, and you can't hate the manure and blame the roots for not being blossoms.

You can't change anything by fighting or resisting it. You change something by making it obsolete through superior methods.

There are no solids. There are no things. There are only interfering and non-interfering patterns operative in pure principle, and principles are eternal.

Specialization breeds biases that ultimately aggregate as international and ideological discord, which, in turn, leads to war.

You never change people by fighting their existing reality.

As long as one human being is hungry, the entire human race is hungry.
