Any really profound and pithy quotations would be very welcome. Mine is " When you build, then they come. "

Love thy neighbor as you love thyself.
The ole' do unto others. . .
And I believe it is, "If you build it they will come." If you are referring to Field of Dreams.

It is not any axiomatic quotation as such, but I was talking to a pyschologist about this and that, (as you do) and he said "You are after a Guru" I thought, "Well yes I am, what a lot of sh*te that is! Why should I let some spiritual charlatan regulate my thoughts and behaviour?" It was a moment of catharsis.
If you would like a quotation built on this insight, here is one of Bob Dylan's, "Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters"

I have heard a few thing that I set great store by, the first is, 'even if you are on the right path, you won't get there if you don't move'.
Also, 'the best thing is to not give a damn about what strangers think, they don't give a damn what you do anyway', this is very true.
Also 'if someone hurts you, don't let it change you, that's the greatest hurt of all'.

"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Galatians 5:14

Let us live gladly! Quite certainly we are free to do it. Perhaps it is our only freedom, but ours it is, and it is only phenomenally a freedom. 'Living free' is being 'as one is'. Can we not do it now? Indeed can we not-do-it? It is not even a 'doing': it is beyond doing and not-doing. It is being as-we-are. This is the only 'practice'.

"Put up with small annoyances to gain great results." I got it from a fortune cookie (feel free to laugh) and taped it to my shelf on my desk at work. I look at it all the time.

I think if we all just followed the old, old idea of reciprocity, everything would be a whole lot better.
