"Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they

die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their

last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their

funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts law suits over their wills."

- Voltaire, French author/philosopher.

SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for September 19



Our existence in this world can be likened to a dream. The issue of by far the greatest importance and eternal relevance is how we face death, the inescapable destiny of all living beings. For in the face of death, external factors such as social status or position in the organization count for naught. Everything depends on one's faith, one's state of life.

Warm wishes......... Bez :thinking:




Emo Phillips was a stand up comedian. Tall, rail thin, spoke in a weird voice and had funky hair. Kind of a bowl cut. He also said:

I used to think the human brain was the most fascinating part of the body. But then I realized, well. . .look what's telling me that!

Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth. We do not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

Chief Seattle

A racehorse is an animal that can take several thousand people for a ride at the same time.

Marjorie Johnson

When I eventually met Mr. Right, I had no idea that his first name was Always.

Rita Rutner

We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the internet, we know this is not true.
