"Do not believe in what you have heard; do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations; do not believe anything because it is rumored and spoken of by many; do not believe merely because the written statements of some old sage are produced; do not believe in conjectures; do not believe in that as a truth to which you have become attached by habit; do not believe merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and is conductive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

LIFE, INCLUDING ALL ITS POWERS OF LOVE,
OF JOY, AND OF ADMIRATION. THAT COUNTRY IS THE RICHEST WHICH NOURISHES THE GREATEST NUMBER OF NOBLE AND HAPPY HUMAN BEINGS;THAT MAN IS RICHEST
WHO, HAVING PERFECTED THE FUNCTIONS OF HIS OWN LIFE TO THE UTMOST, HAS ALSO THE WIDEST HELPFUL INFLUENCE.”

higher intelligence may lead to greater achievement, but it also brings with it greater awareness of alternatives, which may lead to frustration.

He who dies with the most toys wins... the ability to be reborn over and over again, until he realizes we are born physically to develop spiritually, not materialistically
