About Botanical Gardens

by discount designer bedding on January 23, 2010

A botan­i­cal gar­den is a place in which plants are grown and dis­played pri­mar­ily for sci­en­tific and edu­ca­tional pur­poses. A botan­i­cal gar­den con­sists chiefly of a col­lec­tion of liv­ing plants, grown out-of-doors or under glass in green­houses and con­ser­va­to­ries. It usu­ally includes, in addi­tion, a col­lec­tion of dried plants, or herbar­ium, and such facil­i­ties as lec­ture rooms, lab­o­ra­to­ries, libraries, muse­ums, and exper­i­men­tal or research plant­i­ngs. Con­crete foun­tains and wall water foun­tains are often included in the dis­play of botan­i­cal gardens.

The plants in a botan­i­cal gar­den may be arranged accord­ing to one or more sub­di­vi­sions of botan­i­cal sci­ence. The arrange­ments may be sys­tem­atic (by plant clas­si­fi­ca­tion), eco­log­i­cal (by rela­tion to envi­ron­ment), or geo­graphic (by region of ori­gin). The larger botan­i­cal gar­dens often include spe­cial group­ings, such as rock gar­dens, water gar­dens, wild­flower gar­dens, and col­lec­tions of hor­ti­cul­tural groups pro­duced by plant breed­ing, such as roses, tulips, or rhodo­den­drons. A plan­ta­tion restricted to exhibits of woody plants is called an arbore­tum. Most botan­i­cal gar­dens will incor­po­rate water fea­tures such as water wall foun­tains.

His­tory of Botan­i­cal Gardens

One of the ear­li­est botan­i­cal gar­dens for the study of plants was estab­lished in ancient Athens about 340 B.C. by Aris­to­tle and run by his pupil Theophras­tus. The old­est pub­lic botan­i­cal gar­dens in the world are those estab­lished at Pisa, Italy, in 1543; at Padua, Italy, in 1545; at Paris in 1635; and at Berlin in 1679. In the 16th and 17th cen­turies, herbal­ists cul­ti­vated med­i­c­i­nal herbs in pri­vate gar­dens. In 1673, the Soci­ety of Apothe­caries planted the Chelsea Physic Gar­den in Lon­don to pro­vide mate­ri­als for research and med­i­cine. The Amer­i­can botanist John Bar­tram near Philadel­phia estab­lished the first exper­i­men­tal botan­i­cal gar­den in the U.S. in 1728.

Where Botan­i­cal Gar­dens Are Found

Almost every major city has a botan­i­cal gar­den. The Royal Botanic Gar­dens, bet­ter known as Kew Gar­dens, near Lon­don, founded in 1759, is the largest in the world. Exper­i­ments and research done there have led to the trans­plant­ing of com­mer­cially pro­duc­tive crops, such as rub­ber, from their native habi­tats to other parts of the world.

More than 300 botan­i­cal gar­dens are in the U.S. Among the most impor­tant are the Mis­souri Botanic Gar­dens in Saint Louis (1859); the New York Botan­i­cal Gar­den in Bronx Park (1895) and the Brook­lyn Botanic Gar­den, both in New York City. The Arnold Arbore­tum, estab­lished in 1872, is located at Har­vard University.

Ben­e­fits of Vis­it­ing a Botan­i­cal Garden

By vis­it­ing botan­i­cal gar­dens or arbore­tums, city dwellers can dis­cover a part of the nat­ural world to which they ordi­nar­ily have no access, escape from the pres­sure of dense urban pop­u­la­tion, and per­haps even develop new inter­ests and hob­bies hav­ing to do with the nat­ural envi­ron­ment. In these spe­cial parks, plants from all over the world are sci­en­tif­i­cally cul­ti­vated, stud­ied, and artis­ti­cally dis­played for the plea­sure and enlight­en­ment of the pub­lic. Arbore­tums spe­cial­ize in rais­ing trees and shrubs (woody plants) in their nat­ural sur­round­ings. They may exist inde­pen­dently or as part of a larger botan­i­cal garden.

Unlike ordi­nary parks, botan­i­cal gar­dens and arbore­tums are laid out with more than just the beauty of the land­scape in mind. They will offer sculp­ture and cast stone water fea­tures. Although trees and shrubs may be inter­spersed through­out the area to enhance the pleas­ant sur­round­ings, plants are usu­ally grouped accord­ing to their sci­en­tific rela­tion­ships. Often there are small, spe­cial gar­dens, such as rose gar­dens, rock gar­dens, wild­flower gar­dens, or Japan­ese land­scape gar­dens con­tained within the larger botan­i­cal gar­dens. Many have sec­tions devoted to plants of par­tic­u­lar geo­graphic ori­gins, such as a trop­i­cal plant sec­tion, or an aquatic plant sec­tion. Usu­ally, plants are labeled accord­ing to com­mon name, sci­en­tific name, and region of ori­gin. For more ideas on great cast stone water fea­tures visit http://www.garden-fountains.com/cast-stone-fountain-patinas.htm.

A gar­den may con­tain a few hun­dred or as many as 20,000 dif­fer­ent species and vari­eties of plants, depend­ing upon the amount of land, money, and pro­fes­sional help avail­able. In size, botan­i­cal gar­dens range from about 2 1/2 acres (1 hectare) to over 220 acres (90 hectares). There may be a green­house, or more than one green­house, in a botan­i­cal gar­den. The green­house is used both for dis­play­ing plants and, where win­ters are cold, for grow­ing plants that would not oth­er­wise sur­vive the sea­sonal change. In tem­per­ate cli­mates, cer­tain trop­i­cal plants must be grown in greenhouses-for exam­ple, trop­i­cal orchids and ferns, pineap­ples, Span­ish moss, cacti, African vio­lets, and bego­nias. Seedling plants that are to be set out­doors as soon as the weather is warm enough for them may be started in green­houses or in hotbeds, which are beds of earth that are heated and cov­ered with glass. Learn more about fea­tured botan­i­cal gar­den plants at
http://www.garden-fountains.com/water-lilies/main-page-history-of-water-lilies.htm.

Many kinds of plants need cer­tain cli­matic con­di­tions at cer­tain sea­sons, and a botan­i­cal gar­den may need spe­cial stor­age areas for them. Some young plants, for instance, may need a win­ter grow­ing period but can­not sur­vive freez­ing tem­per­a­tures. They must be stored in cold frames, which are unheated, box­like struc­tures cov­ered with glass. Houses built of lath­ing may be needed to store some plants tem­porar­ily in semi shade and to grow cer­tain plants that can­not stand the hot sum­mer sun.

Tips and Tricks for Better Bedrooms

by discount designer bedding on January 23, 2010

• If sheer cur­tains appeal but you can’t sleep with the moon­light and early morn­ing sun­shine stream­ing in, then fit a slim black­out blind unob­tru­sively inside the win­dow frame. It won’t show when it’s rolled up and when unfurled will just look like dark­ness.

• Give white bed linen a new lease of life. Buy satin rib­bons or braid­ing and sew one band or two a lit­tle way in from the hems of your white pil­low­cases and sheets. As white bed linen is very often cheaper you could buy white bed linen and give it a makeover.

• Want a pile of cush­ions on your bed? Find rem­nants at fab­ric stores and use them to make expen­sive look­ing cush­ion cov­ers. The wed­ding fab­ric depart­ment often has lus­cious silk, satin and vel­vet pieces at a frac­tion of the usual price. Foam cush­ion inners are inex­pen­sive.

• Sprin­kle bed linen with rose or laven­der water to give it a fresh scent. Or use scented laun­dry waters when iron­ing your bed linen.

• Buy used cur­tains and if they are too short lengthen by adding a band of a match­ing or con­trast­ing fab­ric. Dif­fer­ent tex­tures also look good. For exam­ple a wide cream col­ored satin band on plain cream or white Indian cot­ton. This trick can also be used to increase width.

• Plenty of hang­ing space but not much else? Buy more hang­ers and hang your T shirts, blouses, shirts and sweaters, and any­thing else that is hang-able. Shops hang them up and so can you!

• Make use of under bed space by stor­ing clothes in bas­kets or boxes fit­ted with cas­tors. Alter­na­tively buy a cheap sec­ond hand chest of draw­ers and fir the draw­ers with cas­tors. They make per­fect stor­age units.

• Buy clear plas­tic shoe bags and use the pock­ets to keep scarves, belts, socks or any other small items. Hang in your wardrobe or behind the door. These are also handy in the bath­room for spare soap, wash­cloths, tooth­paste and sham­poo, or any­thing else you can think of.

• Cos­tume jew­elry such as bead neck­laces is hard to keep untan­gled. Buy the tallest mug tree you can find and hang your beads on its branches.

• To keep your linen orga­nized buy plas­tic crates of a size to fit your linen cup­board shelves. Label them: Dou­ble Bed Sheets, Sin­gle Sheets, Pil­low Slips and so on. Your linen will never get into a mud­dle again. If you have open shelves use wicker bas­kets instead of plastic.

Love may be in the air but to ensure a suc­cess­ful Valen­tines Day it’s para­mount that men and women alike express their feel­ings for each other in a suit­able man­ner — ensur­ing that their loved ones really appre­ci­ate the thought that has gone into the selec­tion of spe­cial Valen­tines Day gifts.

To be on the same planet this Valen­tines day, some cou­ples may need to make a pact to for­get ‘last minute presents’ and do some seri­ous think­ing and prepa­ra­tion before­hand, oth­er­wise they risk becom­ing a pair of ‘star-crossed’ lovers. Oth­ers may know instinc­tively the way to their lover’s heart. Whichever cat­e­gory we fit into, we need to tune into our partner’s likes and dis­likes, allow­ing us to choose a Valen­tines Day gift they’ll cher­ish forever.

Although it is the thought that counts, the right gift mat­ters! Tra­di­tional presents such as a bou­quet of red roses, lux­u­ri­ous choco­lates or a bot­tle of her favourite per­fume may be firm favourites. Nev­er­the­less, even these tried and trusted love tokens can be given a new twist: roses can be swapped for a lovely ever­last­ing heart-shaped trin­ket box; choco­holic lovers will enjoy savour­ing the sweet­ness of the moment with mini choco­late love-hearts; a favourite after­shave can be replaced with a pair of per­son­alised cuf­flinks engraved with his ini­tials or indeed with the excite­ment of a ful­filled life time’s wish. How about dri­ving his dream super­car for the day? So, why not spice things up this year by sam­pling some unusual and unique Valen­tines Day gifts for both sexes?

For the gourmet lover a lux­ury tea and wine ham­per kit will cer­tainly gown down a treat. If enjoy­ing a roman­tic meal for two at a favourite restau­rant, why not fol­low with either a West End show or a the­atre trip for a mem­o­rable night out? Even a spe­cial meal at home can ben­e­fit from the roman­tic touch — play a spe­cially selected piano music CD for a mag­i­cal atmos­phere through­out the evening.

Like­wise, if it’s music that ‘is the food of love’ then a per­son­alised gold disc with spe­cially cho­sen songs and a lov­ing mes­sage inscribed on a plaque may make an ideal present. A roman­tic mem­ory, be it your first meet­ing, first kiss or even an anniver­sary is cap­tured eter­nally through this roman­tic keepsake.

If your spe­cial per­son loves a laugh, then a more quirky present will suf­fice! While men will enjoy the Lover’s candy G-string, women can enjoy nib­bling on the equally delight­ful candy pos­ing pouch! Alter­na­tively you can put the fun and frol­ics back into bath time with two com­pat­i­ble red and white sweet­heart duckies.

On a more seri­ous note, if it’s a love of nature that you wish to cap­ture as a Valen­tines Day gift for the spe­cial some­one then the inge­nious idea of the ‘Ded­i­cate A tree Gift box’ will cer­tainly appeal. Ded­i­cate a tree to the per­son you love while help­ing to nur­ture the envi­ron­ment and let your love blos­som at the same time.

If it’s time away from the mad­den­ing crowd that the love of your life craves, then treat them to a Pam­per­ing Valen­tines Day gift with a relax­ing two day stay at a health club or spa. For an equally relax­ing ses­sion in the com­fort of your home, a Heaven Scent His and Hers Incense kit is an ideal gift. Mas­sage away the stress and caress your lover’s body into sub­mis­sion in aro­matic sur­round­ings, not for­get­ting to scat­ter some fresh petals over the bed beforehand!

For the more adven­tur­ous lover, give that spe­cial per­son the thrill of their lives with a unique out­door expe­ri­ence such as a roman­tic Vir­gin bal­loon flight, a Lover’s Leap Bungee Jump or go for the excite­ment of an Aqua Sphere­ing ses­sion for two. For added romance, toast the occa­sion with a glass of per­son­alised cham­pagne after­wards, com­plete with your own unique label and lov­ing message.

While it’s the Valen­tines Day gifts that cre­ate the final impact, the wrap­ping can be just as impor­tant as the item inside. Why not com­bine humour with sur­prise and use some raunchy wrap­ping paper. While look­ing decep­tively nor­mal on the out­side, inside it’s naughty but still nice.

While oppo­sites attract, mak­ing an effort to express our love in heart-felt ways makes all the dif­fer­ence. If we know the love of our lives bet­ter than any­one else, like we think we do, keep­ing the magic of our love alive with spe­cial gifts and remain­ing on the same planet this Valentine’s Day should be man­age­able challenge.

Create a Garden With Looks and Function

by discount designer bedding on January 22, 2010

A gar­den can be func­tional and attrac­tive at the same time. With a bit of plan­ning and fore­thought, those pretty flow­ers can sus­tain pol­li­na­tion, pro­vide shel­ter for birds and small ani­mals, and even help feed the fam­ily. There was a time when you grew flow­ers or you grew veg­eta­bles and the two never came together.

Here are some tips for multi-functional land­scap­ing that is both eye catch­ing and functional.

Give your veg­gies room to grow. They should have their own beds that aren’t shaded or inhib­ited by other non-food crops.

Give your fences dual pur­pose. A fence makes a won­der­ful trel­lis for beans, roses, morn­ing glo­ries, clema­tis, and cherry toma­toes. It also pro­vides a show­case for plants that would oth­er­wise crawl along the ground such as straw­ber­ries, small gourds or cucumbers.

Make room for some fruit trees. They’ll need a loca­tion that allows room to grow with­out shad­ing other plants. Fruit trees also make a lovely focal point in the cen­ter of a garden.

Cre­ate low edg­ing along a path with marigolds, laven­der, win­ter savory, cal­en­dula, chives or other plants with edi­ble flow­ers. Low grow­ing herbs that are allowed to flower work equally well such as cat mint and oregano. Tall bor­der plants grow­ing along a fence line or defin­ing bor­ders around a gar­den look stun­ning with tall sun­flow­ers, hol­ly­hocks, lilacs or orna­men­tal grasses.

Plant veg­eta­bles keep­ing color con­trasts in mind. Red cab­bage or pump­kins make col­or­ful neigh­bors to fen­nel, par­ley or carrots.

Grow med­i­c­i­nary and culi­nary herbs and learn how to make use of them. Plant dif­fer­ent vari­eties of basil, cilantro and pars­ley next to your toma­toes not just for looks, but for easy har­vest. Enjoy sunny yel­low chamomile, bright red bee balm and fra­grant lemon balm for tasty sun tea made right in the gar­den. Plant Echi­nacea, laven­der or sun­flow­ers in large groups for a more dra­matic effect.

Have a for­mal entrance to your gar­den with a trel­lis or her­ring­bone brick walk­way. Attrac­tive climbers include Hops, May­pop, Sweet Potato Vine, Sweet Peas or Climb­ing Roses.

Grow your crops in rich black soil with lots of added com­post. Your veg­eta­bles will be larger and more vibrant in color as will your flow­er­ing plants. Plant­ing in rows also makes har­vest and care much easier.

Main­tain your gar­den by keep­ing it weeded and trimmed. Add a thick layer of mulch to keep your plants cool and damp in the sum­mer heat and to deter weeds from pok­ing through.

POWER & RESPONSIBILITY">POWER & RESPONSIBILITY

by discount designer bedding on January 22, 2010

TENZIN GYATSO, 14TH DALAI LAMA –“I believe vio­lence will only increase the cycle of violence.”

TENZIN GYATSO, THE DALAI LAMA –“Spend some time alone every day. Remem­ber that silence is some­times the best answer. Share your knowl­edge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.”

TERENCE- “As each one wishes his chil­dren to be no they are.”

TERENCE –“You will have words for your pun­ish­ment, but for me there will be blows.”

TERRY PRATCHETT –“Light thinks it trav­els faster than any thing but it is wrong. No mat­ter how fast light trav­els, it finds the dark­ness has always got there first, and is wait­ing for it.”

TERRY PRATCHETT –“Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don’t find out till too late that he’s been play­ing with two queens all along.”

TERRY WAITE –“The ter­ri­ble thing about ter­ror­ism is that ulti­mately it destroys those who prac­tice it. Slowly but surely, as they try to extin­guish life in oth­ers, the light within them dies.”

TEXAS GUINAN –“A politi­cian is a fel­low who will lay down your life for his country.”

TH HUXLEY –“The known is finite, the unknown infi­nite; intel­lec­tu­ally we stand on an islet in the midst of an illim­itable ocean of inex­plic­a­bil­ity. Our busi­ness in every gen­er­a­tion is to reclaim a lit­tle more land.”

THACKERAY –“Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of lit­tle children.”

THACKEREY –“Next to the very young, I sup­pose the very old are the most selfish.”

THALES –“The most dif­fi­cult thing in life is to know yourself.”

THALES- “The most uni­ver­sal thing is hope.”

THAOMAS HARDY- “As every­body knows, fine feath­ers make fine birds.”

THAYER –“As are fam­i­lies, so is soci­ety. If well ordered, well instructed, and well gov­erned, they are the springs from which go forth the streams of national great­ness and pros­per­ity… of civil order and happiness.”

THE ART OF HAPPINESS –“The Dalai Lama replied: I think there are two kinds of desire. Cer­tain desires are pos­i­tive. A desire for hap­pi­ness. It’s absolutely right. The desire for peace… But at some point, desires can become unrea­son­able. That usu­ally leads to trou­ble… Self-satisfaction alone can­not deter­mine if a desire or action is pos­i­tive or neg­a­tive… I think exces­sive desire leads to greed… When you reflect upon the excesses of greed, you’ll find that it leads an indi­vid­ual to a feel­ing of frus­tra­tion, dis­ap­point­ment, a lot of con­fu­sion, and a lot of prob­lems… Although the under­ly­ing motive is to seek sat­is­fac­tion, the irony is that even after obtain­ing the object of your desire, you are still not sat­is­fied. The true anti­dote of greed is contentment.”

THE ARTHASHASTRA –“It is dif­fi­cult, though not impos­si­ble; to stop gov­ern­ment offi­cials from hid­ing their cor­rupt take.”

THE BEATLES –“And when the bro­ken­hearted peo­ple liv­ing in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer. Let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Whis­per words of wis­dom, let it be.”

THE BERLIN DECLARATION –“For cen­turies Europe has been an idea, hold­ing out hope of peace and under­stand­ing. That hope has been fulfilled.”

THE BOOK OF DRUIDRY –“Grant, 0 God, Thy Pro­tec­tion; And in pro­tec­tion, strength; And in strength, under­stand­ing; And in under­stand­ing, knowl­edge; And in knowl­edge, the knowl­edge of jus­tice; And in the knowl­edge of jus­tice, the love of it; And in that love, the love of all exis­tences; And in the love of all exis­tences, the love of God. God and all goodness.”

THE BRAHMA VIHARCIS –“May all sen­tient beings have hap­pi­ness and its causes, May all sen­tient beings be free of suf­fer­ing and its causes, May all sen­tient beings never be sep­a­rated from bliss , with­out suf­fer­ing, May all sen­tient beings be in equa­nim­ity, free of bias, attach­ment and anger.”

THE CHRISTMAS ALPHABET –“C is for the can­dle sticks around the Christ­mas tree H is for the hap­pi­ness with all the fam­ily P is for the rein­deer danc­ing by the win­dow­pane I is all the icing on the sweets, the cakes, the sugar cane S is for the stock­ing on the chim­ney wall T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall M is for the mistle­toe where every­one kissed A is for the angels who up the Christinas-list S is for old Santa who brings every­one a gift.”

THE CLOUD OF UNKNOWING –“No man should be judged by oth­ers here in this life, for the good or evil deeds that they do. Nev­er­the­less deeds may law­fully be judged, but not the men, whether they be good or evil.”

THE COLUMBIA ENCYCLOPEDIA –“Accord­ing to Shankara, the ulti­mate real­ity is Brah­man or the Self, which is pure real­ity, pure con­scious­ness, and pure bliss. The world has come into be ing from Brah­man and is wholly depen­dent on it. The cri­te­ria of real­ity are immutabil­ity and per­ma­nence. Since the world is con­stantly chang­ing, and since its exis­tence is not absolute but depen­dent on Brah­man, the world is called illu­sion or maya. Brah­man exists as the Absolute, with­out qual­i­ties (nir­guna), and also exists with qual­i­ties (saguna) as a per­sonal god, Ish­vara, who pre­sides over the world of appearance.”

THE COMPLETE ANGLER –“Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good con­science; for health is the sec­ond bless­ing that we mor­tals are capa­ble of; a bless­ing that money can­not buy.”

THE CURE D’ARS –“Humil­ity is to the virtues what the chain is to the rosary; remove the chain, and all the beads escape; take away humil­ity, and all the virtues disappear.”

THE DHAMMAPADA –“Con­quer the angry man by love. Con­quer the ill-natured man by good­ness. Con­quer the miser with-generosity. Con­quer the liar with truth.”

THE DHAMMAPADA –“One is one’s own des­tiny. There­fore one should train oneself.”

THE ECONOMIST –“Con­fronted by Asia’s tech­no­log­i­cal rise and the finan­cial cri­sis, cor­po­rate Amer­ica is los­ing its self-confidence. It should not.”

THE ECONOMIST –“Mod­est pro­pos­als are bet­ter than grand designs: They serve the polit­i­cal func­tion of reg­is­ter­ing con­cerns, but are too small to pro­voke opposition.”

THE GOLDEN AGE OF ZEN –“Spring has its hun­dred flowers,/ Autumn its moon,/ Sum­mer has its cool­ing breezes,/ Win­ter its snow./ If you allow no idle concerns/ To weight on your heart,/ Your whole life will be one/ Peren­nial good season.”

THE GOSPEL –“Jesus said: Who­ever knows the All but fails to know him­self lacks everything.”

THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW –“Then Peter began to call down curses on him­self and he swore to them, don’t know the Man!”

THE GOSPEL, STTHOMAS –“Raise the stone and there thou shall find me. Cleave the wood and there am I.”

THE HITOPADESA –“The spirit in thee is a river. Its sacred bathing place is con­tem­pla­tion; its waters are truth; its banks are holi­ness; its waves are love. Go to that river for purifi­ca­tion; thy soul can­not be made pure by mere water.”

THE HOLY BIBLE –“Hon­our thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God give the thee.”

THE IMITATION OF CHRISTY –“Some there are who resign them­selves, but with excep­tions: for they put not their whole trust in God, there­fore they study how to pro­vide for themselves.”

THE INTERVAL –“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”

THE KINKS –“Girls will be boys and boys will be girls/It’s a mixed up mud­dled up shook up world.”

THE LORD’S PRAYER –“Hal­lowed be Thy name. Thy king­dom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

THE MOTHER –“Noth­ing, not even the dark­est false­hood can stop the ulti­mate tri­umph of truth.… To stand for the truth in all cir­cum­stances, to declare it if nec­es­sary in the teeth of the worst oppo­si­tion and to be ready to do all you can for its sake, is the def­i­n­i­tion of heroism.”

THE MOTHER, PONDICHERRY –“Never grum­ble. All sorts of forces enter you when you grum­ble and they pull you down. We find in oth­ers what is in us… If we always find mud around us, it proves that there is mud some­where in us.”

THE MYSTERY PLAY –“God is in the details, after all. Or… per­haps, the details are in God.”

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY –“A work in progress, the Earth still shakes with the forces of cre­ation. Earth­quakes occur when shift­ing pieces of the sur­face over­come fric­tion at their edges and cause the ground to shud­der — with some­times dis­as­trous results.”

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY –“Seen from the safe dis­tance of a satel­lite, it can be a thrilling spec­ta­cle. But as any­one caught in the mid­dle of a hur­ri­cane knows, the place that poets call Mother Earth is not always such a gen­tle par­ent. Extreme weather events… are expres­sions of a liv­ing planet, still chang­ing after bil­lions of years of existence.”

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY –“When they occur at sea, earth­quakes can gen­er­ate seis­mic waves called tsunamis, which travel great dis­tances at speeds equalling those of com­mer­cial jet­lin­ers. Tsunamis are barely notice­able —often just rip­ples on the sur­face — until they approach shores, when they become monsters.”

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY –“Wild­fire — an ancient lord of the wilder­ness — can cre­ate life as well as destroy it. Destruc­tive out­breaks in recent years due to chang­ing cli­mate and human activ­i­ties have revived con­tro­ver­sies over how best to man­age forests.”

THE PANCHATANTRA –“Inspect a mat­ter with utmost care before jump­ing to con­clu­sions and rush­ing head­long into actions; else, bit­ter remorse is let loose.”

THE PANCHATANTRA –“When enter­prise is a man’s sec­ond nature, Mount Meru is not too lofty, The Abyss not too low, nor the Great Ocean impass­able. Per­se­ver­ance, not wishes, gets work done; deer do not walk into the mouth of a sleep­ing lion.”

THE PANCHATANTRA –“Who are friendly? What’s the cost, and what’s the gain? Time and again, one should pon­der over these.”

THE PEORIA JOURNAL STAR –“Not dead to us who loved him, –Not lost but gone before; He lives with us in mem­ory, and will for evermore.”

THE PERFECTION OF WISDOM –“When a ship is wrecked at sea, those who do not hold onto a tim­ber, a plank, or other solid sup­port will drown in the water, never reach­ing the shore. Sub­huti, those that do hold onto a tim­ber, or plank, or other solid sup­port will not drown in the water Hap­pily unhin­dered, they may reach the shore, where they will stand safe and sound on firm ground. Sim­i­larly, Sub­huti, a bod­hisattva who is endowed with a full mea­sure of faith and purity, of kind­ness and inten­tions, but with­out tak­ing hold of the per­fec­tion of wis­dom, can fall along the way Not reach­ing all-embracing knowl­edge, he remains only a dis­ci­ple, or a pratyekabuddha.”

THE SIRI SINGH SAHIB –“There is no lib­er­a­tion with­out labour and there is no free­dom which is free.”

THE SOPHIC HYDROLITH –“For let me tell you that he on whom the Most High has con­ferred the knowl­edge of this Mys­tery (of trans­mu­ta­tion) esteems mere money and earthly riches as lightly as the dirt of the streets. His heart and all his desires are bent upon see­ing and enjoy­ing the heav­enly real­ity of which all these things are but a figure.”

THE SPLENDOUR –“Lis­ten to the Exhor­ta­tion of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Ver­i­ties and Real­i­ties of your Exis­tence. The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action,”

THE UPANISHADS –“Who sees all being in his own self, and has own self in all beings, loses all fear.”

THE VEDAS –“At first there was nei­ther Being nor Non-being. There was not air nor yet sky beyond. What was its wrap­ping? Where? On whose pro­tec­tion? Was Water there, unfath­omable and deep?”

THE XIV DALAI LAMA –“Com­pas­sion and love are not mere lux­u­ries. As the source both of inner and exter­nal peace, they are fun­da­men­tal to the con­tin­ued sur­vival Of our species.”

THE XIV DALAI LAMA –“We can­not learn real patience and tol­er­ance from a guru or a friend. They can be prac­ticed only when we come in con­tact with some­one who cre­ates unpleas­ant expe­ri­ences. Accord­ing to Shan­ti­deva, ene­mies are really good for us as we can learn a lot from them and build our inner strength.”

THE XTV DALAI LAMA –“Dis­re­gard for our nat­ural inher­i­tance has brought about the dan­ger that now threat­ens the peace of the world…. Such destruc­tion of the envi­ron­ment and life depend­ing upon it is a result of, igno­rance, greed and dis­re­gard for the rich­ness of all liv­ing things. This dis­re­gard is gam­ing great influ­ence. If peace does not become a real­ity in the world and if the destruc­tion of the envi­ron­ment con­tin­ues as it does today, there is no doubt that future gen­er­a­tions will inherit a dead world.”

THEODONE MHESBUEGH –“The very essence of lead­er­ship is that you have to have vision. You can’t blow an uncer­tain trumpet.”

THEODORE GEISEL –“I like non­sense; it wakes up the brain cells. Fan­tasy is a nec­es­sary ingre­di­ent in liv­ing, it’s a way of look­ing at life through the wrong end of a tele­scope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”

THEODORE H. WHITE- “The flood of money that gushes into pol­i­tics today is a pol­lu­tion of democracy.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“A sound body is a first-class thing; a sound mind is an even bet­ter thing; but the thing that counts for most in the indi­vid­ual as in the nation is char­ac­ter, the sum of those qual­i­ties which make a man a good man and a woman a good woman.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“Char­ac­ter, in the long run, is the deci­sive fac­tor in the life of an indi­vid­ual and of nations alike.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“In doing your work in the great world, it is a safe plan to fol­low a rule I once heard on the foot­ball field: Don’t flinch, don’t fall; hit the line hard.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stum­bled, or where the doer of deeds could have done bet­ter. The credit belongs to the man who is actu­ally in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthu­si­asms, the great devo­tions, and spends him­self in a wor­thy cause, who at best knows I achieve­ment and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while dar­ing greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know nei­ther vic­tory nor defeat.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT- “No man is above the law and no man below it: nor do we ask any man’s per­mis­sion when we ask him to obey it.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“Power undi­rected by high pur­pose spells calamity; and high pur­pose by itself is utterly use­less if the power to put it into effect is lacking.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT- “The most suc­cess­ful politi­cian is he who says what every­body is think­ing most often and in the loud­est voice.”

THEODORE TILTEN –““Struck with palsy, sore and old, / Wait­ing at the gates of gold, /Said he with his dying breath/ “Life is done, but what is Death?”/ Then an answer to the king/ Fell a sun­beam on his ring; / Show­ing by a heav­enly ray, / “Even this will pass away”.”

THESE ARE BRAHMA’S WORLDS –“Four­teen worlds begin­ning with Patala and end­ing with Satya are evolved out of the five elements.”

THICH NHA THANH –“Med­i­ta­tion is not to escape from soci­ety, but to come back to our­selves and see what is going on. Once there is see­ing, there must be act­ing. With mind­ful­ness, we know what to do and what not to do to help.”

THICH NHAT HANH –‘Walk­ing med­i­ta­tion is like eat­ing. With each step, we nour­ish our body and our spirit. When we walk with anx­i­ety and sor­row, it is a kind of junk food. The food of walk­ing med­i­ta­tion should be of a higher qual­ity. Just walk slowly and enjoy a ban­quet of peace.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“After you wake up, you prob­a­bly open the cur­tains and look out­side. You may even like to open the win­dow and feel the cool morn­ing air with the dew still on the grass. But is what you see really “out­side”? In fact, it is your own mind. As the sun sends its rays I through the win­dow, you are not just your­self. You are also the beau­ti­ful view from your win­dow. You are the Dharmakaya.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“All of us have the power to change the sit­u­a­tion if we care to prac­tice mind­ful walk­ing, mind­ful! breath­ing to encour­age the energy of mind­ful– I ness and to prac­tise look­ing deeply to under­stand. Because under­stand­ing when it comes, will lib­er­ate us. It will help us to get rid of our anger, our hate and so on. And love is some­thing that can only be born on the ground of under­stand­ing. Pra­jna and karuna are words that point to the same real­ity Where there is under­stand­ing, pra­jna, there is love. Where there is true love, maitri and karuna, there already exists pra­jna. Where there is no under­stand­ing, there is no true love.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“All phe­nom­ena — the song of a bird, the warm rays of the sun, a cup of hot tea — are man­i­fes– tations of the Dhar­makaya. We, too, are of the same nature as these won­ders of the universe.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Breath is the bridge which con­nects life to con­scious­ness, which unites your body to your thoughts.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Dhar­makaya lit­er­ally means the’body’or kaya of the Buddha’s teach­ings and Dharma), the way of under­stand­ing and love. Before pass­ing away, the Bud­dha told his dis­ci­ples, “Only my phys­i­cal body will pass away. My Dharma body will remain with you for­ever.” In Mahayana Bud­dhism, the word has come to mean “the essence of all that exists”.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Hap­pi­ness is only pos­si­ble with true love. True love has the power to heal and trans­form the sit­u­a­tion around us and bring a deep mean­ing to our lives.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“If you look deeply into imper­ma­nence, you will do your best to make her happy right now. Aware of imper­ma­nence, you become pos­i­tive, lov­ing and wise. Imper­ma­nence is good news. With­out imper­ma­nence, noth­ing would be pos­si­ble. With imper­ma­nence, every door is open for change. Imper­ma­nence is an instru­ment for our liberation.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“If you suf­fer, it is not because things are imper­ma­nent. It is because! you believe things are I per­ma­nent. When a flower dies, you don’t suf­fer much, because you under­stand that flow­ers are imper­ma­nent. But you can­not accept the imper­ma­nence of your beloved one, and you suf­fer deeply when she passes away.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Keep­ing your body healthy is an expres­sion of grat­i­tude to the whole cos­mos the trees, the clouds, everything.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Med­i­ta­tion is not to escape from soci­ety, but to come back to our­selves and see what is going on. Once there is see­ing, there must be act­ing. With mind­ful­ness, we know what to do and what not to do to help.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Med­i­ta­tion is not to escape from soci­ety, but to come back to our­selves and see what is going on.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Noth­ing remains the same for two con­sec­u­tive moments. The Bud­dha implored us not just to talk about imper­ma­nence, but to use it as an instru­ment to help us pen­e­trate deeply into real­ity and obtain lib­er­at­ing insight. We may be tempted to say that because things are imper­ma­nent, there is suf­fer­ing. But the Bud­dha encour­aged us to look again. With­out imper­ma­nence, life is not pos­si­ble. How can we trans­form our suf­fer­ing if things are not imper­ma­nent? How can the sit­u­a­tion in the world improve? We need imper­ma­nence foil social jus­tice and for hope.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Open­ing the win­dow, I look out onto the Dhar­makaya. How won­drous is life! Atten­tive to each moment, my mind is clear like a calm river.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Peo­ple deal too much with the neg­a­tive, with what is wrong…Why not try arid see pos­i­tive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Peo­ple today tend to take refuge in over­work so they can avoid con­fronting their inner turmoil.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Peo­ple usu­ally con­sider walk­ing on water or in thin air a mir­a­cle. But i think the real mir­a­cle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a mir­a­cle which we don’t even recog­nise: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the .black, curi­ous eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Some­times your joy is the source of your smile, but some­times your smile can be the source of your joy.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“That path is you. That is why it will never tire of wait­ing Whether it is cov­ered with red dust, autumn leaves, or icy snow, come back to the path. You will be like the tree of life. Your leaves, trunk, branches, and the blos­soms of your soul will be fresh and beau­ti­ful, once you enter the prac­tice of Earth Touching.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“The empty path wel­comes you, fra­grant with grass and lit­tle flow­ers. Walk leisurely, peace­fully. Your feet touch the earth deeply. Don’t let your thoughts carry you away. Come back to the path every moment.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“The prac­tice of peace and rec­on­cil­i­a­tion is one of the most vital and artis­tic of human actions.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Water flows from high in the moun­tains Water runs deep in the Earth Mirac­u­lously, water comes to us, And sus­tains all life.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“When we come into con­tact with the other per­son, our thoughts an actions should express our mind of com­pas­sion even if that per­son says and does things that are not easy to accept. We prac­tice in this way until we see clearly that our love is not con­tin­gent upon the other per­son being lovable.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“When we open the win­dow and look out onto the Dhar­makaya, we see that life is infi­nitely mar­vel­lous. At that very moment, we can vow to be awake all day long, real­is­ing joy, peace, free­dom and har­mony through­out our lives. When we do this, our mind becomes clear like a calm river.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“You are me, and I am you. Isn’t it obvi­ous that we “inter-are”? You cul­ti­vate the flower in your­self, so that i will be beau­ti­ful. I trans­form the garbage in myself, so that you will not have to suf­fer I sup­port you; you sup­port me. I am in this world to offer you peace; you are in this world to bring me joy.”

THICH NHAT HANT –‘It is not by going out for a demon­stra­tion against nuclear mis­siles … but with our capac­ity of being peace that we can make peace.”

THICH NHAT HANT –‘It is not by going out for a demon­stra­tion against nuclear mis­siles … but with our capac­ity of being peace that we can make peace.”

THICK NHAT HANH –“Keep­ing your body ’ healthy is an expres­sion of grat­i­tude to the whole cos­mos — the trees, the clouds, everything.”

THICK NHATHANH –“Dis­solve Thoughts Med­i­ta­tion is not to escape from soci­ety but to come back to our­selves and see what is going on. Once there is see­ing, there must be act­ing. With mind­ful­ness, we know what to do and what not to do to help.”

THIMVALLUVAR –“The chief bless­ing is an hon­ourable home and its crown­ing glory is wor­thy offspring.”

THOLUCK –“There is not a more repul­sive spec­ta­cle than an old man who will not for­sake the world, “which has already for­saken him.”

THOMAS A EDISON –“Non-violence leads to the high­est ethics which is the goal of evo­lu­tion. Until we stop harm­ing all other liv­ing beings, we are still savages.”

THOMAS A KEMPIS –“0 ever­last­ing Light, far sur­pass­ing all cre­ated things, send down the beams of Your bright­ness from above, and purify, glad­den, and illu­mi­nate in me all the inward cor­ners of my heart.”

THOMAS A. EDISON — “Fail? I haven’t failed! I now know 3,800 ways not to make an elec­tric stor­age battery.”

THOMAS A. EDISON — “Until we stop harm­ing all other liv­ing being, we are still savage.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“Any­thing that won’t sell, I don’t want to invent.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is pro­duc­tion or accom­plish­ment and to either of these ends there must be fore­thought, sys­tem, plan­ning, intel­li­gence, and hon­est pur­pose, as well as per­spi­ra­tion. Seem­ing to do is not doing.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“Fail? I haven’t failed! I now know 3800 ways not to make an elec­tric stor­age battery.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“If we did all the things we are capa­ble of doing, we would lit­er­ally aston­ish ourselves.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“If we did the things we are capa­ble of, we would astound ourselves.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“If you believe that feel­ing bad or wor­ry­ing long enough will change a past or future event, then you are resid­ing on another planet.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“Many of life’s fail­ures are peo­ple who did not real­ize how close they were to suc­cess when they gave up.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“Mr. Edi­son, please tell me what lab­o­ra­tory rules you want me to observe.” Edi­son: “There ain’t any rules around here. We’re try­ing to accom­plish somet’n!”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“Oppor­tu­nity is missed by most peo­ple because it is dressed in over­alls and looks like work.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“The suc­cess­ful per­son makes a habit of doing what the fail­ing per­son doesn’t like to do.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“There’s value in dis­as­ter. All our mis­takes are burned up. Thank God, we can start anew.”

THOMAS A. EDISON- “Until we stop harm­ing all other liv­ing being, we are still savage.”

THOMAS A. EDISON:- “Fail? I haven’t failed! I now know 3,800 ways not to make an elec­tric stor­age battery.”

Thomas a.KEMPIS- “First keep the peace within your self, than you can also bring peace to others.”

THOMAS ADAMS –“Those bot­tled windy drinks that laugh in a man’s face and then cuts his throat.”

THOMAS AQUINAS –“Bet­ter to illu­mi­nate than merely to shine, to deliver to oth­ers con­tem­plated truths than merely to contemplate.”

THOMAS AQUINAS –“Far graver is it to cor­rupt the faith that is the life of the soul than to coun­ter­feit the money that sus­tains tem­po­ral life.”

THOMAS ARNOLD –“Prob­a­bly the hap­pi­est period in life most fre­quently is in mid­dle age, when the eager pas­sions of youth are cooled, and the infir­mi­ties of age not yet begun: as we see that the shad­ows, which are at morn­ing and evening so large, almost dis­ap­pear at midday.”

THOMAS B. ALDRICH –“To keep the heart unwrin­kled, to he hope­ful, kindly, cheer­ful, rev­er­ent — that is to tri­umph over old age.”

Cre­ate and make in us new and con­trite hearts that lament­ing our sins and acknowl­edg­ing our wretched­ness, we may receive from you, the God of all mercy, per­fect for­give­ness and peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

THOMAS ELLIOT- “It is by no means self-evident that human beings are most real when most vio­lently excited; vio­lent phys­i­cal pas­sions do not in them­selves dif­fer­en­ti­ate men from each other; but rather tend to reduce them to the same state.”

THOMAS HARDY –“I tra­versed a Domin­ion Whose spokes­men spake out strong Their pur­pose and opin­ion Through pul­pit, press, and song.… I saw, in web unbro­ken, Its his­tory out wrought Not as the loud had spo­ken, But as the mute had thought.”

THOMAS HOOD –“The aver­age woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the aver­age man can see bet­ter than he can think.”

THOMAS HUSHES –“He never wants any­thing but what’s right and fair; only when you come to set­tle what’s right and fair, it’s ’ every­thing that he wants and noth­ing that you want.”

Teach us to con­serve, pre­serve, use wisely the blessed trea­sures of our wealth-stored earth.

THOMAS J WATSON –“If you want to achieve excel­lence you can get there today As of this sec­ond, quit doing less-than-excellent work.”

THOMAS J WATSON SR. –“Fol­low the path of the unsafe, inde­pen­dent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dan­gers of con­tro­versy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of ‘crack­pot’ than the stigma of con­for­mity. And on issues that seem impor­tant to you, stand up and be counted at any cost. If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get your­self knocked down. But remem­ber this: A man flat­tened by con­for­mity stays down for good.”

THOMAS J WATSON SR. –“The great accom­plish­ments of man have resulted from the trans­mis­sion of ideas and enthusiasm.”

THOMAS J WATSON SR. –“Within us all there are wells of thought and dynamos of energy which are not sus­pected until emer­gen­cies arise… Quo­tas, when set up for us by oth­ers, are chal­lenges which goad us on to sur­pass our­selves. The out­stand­ing lead­ers of every age are those who set up their own quo­tas and con­stantly achieve them.”

THOMAS J WATSON SR. –“You must guard con­stantly against those who lack vision. You must guard against the reac­tionary mind. Always cul­ti­vate and asso­ciate with per­sons of vision and with per­sons who believe that things are going to be bet­ter. When you do this, you take on the kind of vision, backed by the right kind of inspi­ra­tion, that you need if you are going to grow in this busi­ness or any other business.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON — “When­ever a man has cast a long­ing eye on office, rottenness.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON- ‘I hope our wis­dom will grow with our power and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.’

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“I hope our wis­dom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater/it wills him.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON -“I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“If peo­ple let gov­ern­ments decide what foods they eat and what med­i­cines they take, their bod­ies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“In mat­ters of style, swim with the cur­rent; in mat­ters of prin­ci­ple, stand like a rock.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“It is always bet­ter to have no ideas than false ones; to believe noth­ing, than to believe what is wrong.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“It is not by the con­sol­i­da­tion, or con­cen­tra­tion, of power, but by their dis­tri­b­u­tion that good gov­ern­ment is effected.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“No gov­ern­ment can con­tinue good but under the con­trol of the people.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“No man has a nat­ural right to com­mit aggres­sion on the equal rights of another… the laws ought to restrain him.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“Our lib­erty depends on the free­dom of the press, and that can­not be lim­ited with­out being lost.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“The sword of the law should never fall but on those whose guilt is so appar­ent as to be pro­nounced by their friends as well as foes.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are cre­ated equal, that they are endowed by their Cre­ator with cer­tain inalien­able rights, that among these are life, lib­erty and the pur­suit of happiness.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON –“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a gov­ern­ment with­out news­pa­pers, or news­pa­pers with­out a gov­ern­ment, I should not hes­i­tate a moment to pre­fer the latter.”

THOMAS JONES –“Friends may come and go, but ene­mies accumulate.”

THOMAS KE/Z –“Teach me to live, that I may dread the grave as lit­tle as my bed.”

THOMAS KINKADE –“Bal­ance, peace, and joy is the fruit of a suc­cess­ful life. It starts with recog­nis­ing your tal­ents and find­ing ways to serve oth­ers by using them.”

THOMAS MACAULAY –“The mea­sure of a man’s real char­ac­ter is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.”

THOMAS MALTHUS –“A great emi­gra­tion nec­es­sar­ily implies unhap­pi­ness of some kind or other in the coun­try that is deserted.”

THOMAS MANN- “He who loves most is the van­quished and must suffer.”

THOMAS MANN- “I shall need to sleep three weeks on end to get rested from the rest I’ve had.’

THOMAS MANN –“Love is like a vio­lin. The music may stop now and then, but the string remains forever.”

THOMAS MANN –“Time goes, you say? Ah, no! Alas, Time stays, we go.”

THOMAS MANN –“Time has no divi­sions to mark its pas­sage, there is never a thun­der­storm or blare of trum­pets to announce the begin­ning of a new month or year. Even when a new cen­tury begins it is only we mor­tals who ring bells and fire off pistols.”

Thomas mann- “We came out of the dark and to go into the dark again and in between lie the expe­ri­ences of our life.”

THOMAS MANN –“We should know how to inherit, because inher­it­ing is culture.”

THOMAS MERTON –“And when the fac­ul­ties are empty, then your whole being lis­tens. There is then a direct grasp of what is right before you that can never be heard with the ear or under­stood with the mind. Fast­ing of the heart emp­ties the fac­ul­ties, frees you from lim­i­ta­tions and from preoccupations.”

THOMAS MERTON –“At the cen­tre of our being is a point of noth­ing­ness which is untouched by sin and by illu­sion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our dis­posal, from which God dis­poses of our lives, which is inac­ces­si­ble to the fan­tasies of our own mind, or the bru­tal­i­ties of our own will.”

THOMAS MERTON –“In the last analy­sis, the indi­vid­ual per­son is respon­si­ble for liv­ing his own life and for “find­ing him­self”. If he per­sists in shift­ing his respon­si­bil­ity to some­body else, he fails to find out the mean­ing of his own existence.”

THOMAS MERTON –“It was said of Abbot Agatho that for three years he car­ried a stone in his mouth until he learned to be silent.”

THOMAS MERTON –“Man is equally inca­pable of see­ing the noth­ing­ness from which he emerges and the infin­ity in which he is engulfed.”

THOMAS MERTON –“The begin­ning of love is to let those we love be them­selves, and not twist them to fit our own image. Oth­er­wise we love only the reflec­tion of our­selves in them.”

THOMAS MERTON –“The whole idea of com­pas­sion is based on a keen aware­ness of the inter­de­pen­dence of all these liv­ing beings, which are all part of one another and all involved in one another.”

THOMAS MERTON –“We can­not be happy if expect to live all the time at the high­est peak of inten­sity Hap­pi­ness is not a mat­ter of inten­sity; but of bal­ance and order and rhythm and harmony.”

THOMAS MOORE –“Every one should know that you can’t live in any other way than by cul­ti­vat­ing the soul.”

THOMAS MOORE- “Though an angel should write, still ‘tis devil must print.”

THOMAS MORE –“These things, good Lord that we pray for give us Thy grace to labour for.”

THOMAS NASHE –“Heaven is our her­itage, Earth­buta play­ers’ stage.”

THOMAS PAINE –“Gov­ern­ment, even in its best state, is but a nec­es­sary evil; in its worst state, an intol­er­a­ble one.”

THOMAS PAINE –“I believe in the equal­ity of man; and I believe that reli­gious duties con­sist in doing jus­tice, lov­ing mercy, and endeav­our­ing to make our fel­low crea­tures happy.”

THOMAS PAINE –“If there must be trou­ble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.”

THOMAS PAINE –“Rep­u­ta­tion is what men and women think of us. Char­ac­ter is what God and angels know of us.”

THOMAS PAINE –“The world is my coun­try, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.”

THOMAS PAINE –“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”

THOMAS PAINE- “When the peo­ple fear the gov­ern­ment, you have tyranny; when the gov­ern­ment fears the peo­ple, you have freedom.”

THOMAS PETERS & ROBERT WATERMAN, JR. –“The sim­ple act of pay­ing pos­i­tive atten­tion to peo­ple has a great deal to do with productivity.”

THOMAS R DEWAR –“Minds are like para­chutes: they only func­tion when open.”

THOMAS SOWELL –“Given that some social processes must con­vey inher­ent con­straints, the Choice is among var­i­ous mix­tures of per­sua­sion, force, and cul­tural induce­ment. The less of one, the more of the oth­ers. The degree of free­dom that is pos­si­ble is there­fore tied to the extent to which peo­ple respond to per­sua­sion or inducement.”

THOMAS SOWELL –“Given that some social processes must con­vey inher­ent con­straints, the choice is among var­i­ous mix­tures of per­sua­sion, force, and cul­tural induce­ment. The less of one, the more of the oth­ers. The degree of free­dom that is pos­si­ble is there­fore tied to the extent to which peo­ple respond to per­sua­sion or inducement.”

THOMAS SOWELL –“The first les­son of eco­nom­ics is scarcity There is never enough of any­thing to sat­isfy all those who want it. The first les­son of pol­i­tics is to dis­re­gard the first les­son of economics.”

THOMAS SZASZ –“A child becomes an adult when he realises that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong.”

THOMAS SZASZ –“Clear think­ing requires courage rather than intelligence.”

THOMAS SZASZ –“The self is not some­thing that one finds. It is some­thing that one creates.”

THOMAS SZASZ –“When reli­gion was strong and sci­ence weak. Men mis­took magic for med­i­cine, now when sci­ence is stronger and reli­gion weak, men mis­take med­i­cine for magic.”

Thomas szazs- “If you talk to god, you are pray­ing; if god talks to you, you have schizophrenia.”

THOMAS TUSSER- “Come some, some go; this life is so.”

THOMAS W CRONIN –““It’s unbe­liev­ably beau­ti­ful”, said Shiela. “I always thought a really beau­ti­ful place had to be green and rolling, with hills and val­leys and lakes, and the sea pound­ing on rocks and beaches —“You mean like Ire­land?” All right, I’m prej­u­diced”, said Shiela. “I always thought a place had to be some­thing like that to be really beau­ti­ful. But this (on Mars) is an alto­gether dif­fer­ent kind of beauty a rare red beauty, and so quiet and peace­ful too”. “I agree”, said Don, “it’s one con­tin­u­ous plea­sure just to look at it. I could stay here for­ever”. “But plea­sure isn’t the only feel­ing I get look­ing at it”, said Shiela. “I also feel I’m like a fly that’s just landed on an exquis­itely beau­ti­ful spider’s web — wait­ing for the spi­der to show up”.”

THOMAS. A. KEMPIS –“Love is being able to walk arm in arm … even when you don’t see eye to eye.”

THOMSON –“Come, gen­tle Spring, ethe­real mild­ness, come; And from the bosom of yon drop­ping cloud, While music wakes around, veiled in a shower Of shad­ow­ing roses, on our plains descend.”

THONAS JAFFERSON- “The care of human life and hap­pi­ness, and not their destruc­tion, is the first and only legit­i­mate object of good government.”

THOREAU –“I never found the com­pan­ion that was as com­pan­ion­able as solitude.”

THOREAU –“Our life is frit­tered away by detail… Sim­plify, simplify.”

THOREAU –“The reader is nowhere raised into and sus­tained in a higher, purer, or rarer region of thought than in the Bha­gavad Gita… Beside (it), even our Shake­speare seems some­times youth­fully green and prac­ti­cal merely.”

THORNTON WILDER –“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are con­scious of our treasures.”

THORSYEIN VEBLEN- “Con­spic­u­ous leisure and con­sump­tion… in the one case it is a waste of time and effort, in the other it is a waste of goods.”

THUCYDIDES –“The secret of hap­pi­ness is free­dom, and the secret of free­dom is courage.”

THUPTEN RINPOCHE –“To develop true com­pas­sion, first we must know that suf­fer­ing is real, and that suf­fer­ings hurt.”

THUR HUGH CLOUGH- “Grace is given of God, but knowl­edge is born in the market.”

TIBULLUS –“Father Nile, why or in what lands can I say you have hid­den your head? On your account your Egypt never sues for show­ers, nor does the dry grass bow to Jupiter the rain-bringer.”

TIERNOBOKAR –“The beauty of the rain­bow is due to the vari­ety of its colours. In the same way, we regard the voices of the dif­fer­ent believ­ers which rise from all parts of the earth as a sym­phony of praises on behalf of God who can only be one.”

TIM CLARK –“Lead­er­ship is influ­enc­ing oth­ers to do the right thing.”

TIM DU BOIS –“Always be “work in progress”.

TIM MCGRAW –“We all take dif­fer­ent paths in life, but no mat­ter where we go, we take a lit­tle of each other everywhere.”

TIM O’LEARY –“You are as old as the last time you changed your mind.”

TIM WILEY –“Where you end up isn’t the most impor­tant thing. It’s the road you take to get there. The road you take is what you’ll look back on and call your life.”

TIMOTHY –“If any one puri­fies him­self from what is igno­ble, then he will be a ves­sel con­se­crated and use­ful to the Mas­ter of the house, ready for any good work. So shun youth­ful pas­sions and aim at right­eous­ness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.”

TIMOTHY LEARY –“We are deal­ing with the best-educated gen­er­a­tion in his­tory. But they’ve got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.”

TIMOTHY THOMAS FORTUNE –“Mob law is the most forcible expres­sion of an abnor­mal pub­lic opin­ion; it shows that soci­ety is rot­ten to the core.”

TIMOYHY LEARY –“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”

TIORIO –“it is bet­ter to be old-fashioned and right than to be up-to-date and wrong.”

TITUS L CARUS –“As chil­dren trem­ble and fear every­thing in the blind dark­ness, so we in the light some­times fear what is no more to be feared than the things chil­dren in the dark hold in ter­ror and imag­ine will come true.”

TOM LEHRER- “Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put in to it.”

TOM LEHRER- “Life is like A SEWER. What you get out of it depends on what you put in to it.”

TOM PETERS –“For­mula for suc­cess: Under promise and over deliver.”

TOM PETERS –“Leave no one out of the big pic­ture. Involve every­one in every­thing of any con­se­quence to all of you.”

TOM ROBBINS –“Human beings were invented by water as a device for trans­port­ing itself from one place to another.”

TOM ROBBINS –“There are many things worth liv­ing for, there are a few things worth dying for, but there is noth­ing worth killing for.”

TOM SNYDER –“If we’re not sup­posed to eat ani­mals, how come they’re made out of meat?”

TOM STOPPARD –“Every exit is an entry some­where else.”

TOM STOPPARD –“If an idea’s worth hav­ing once, it’s worth hav­ing twice.”

TOM STOPPARD- “Life is a gam­ble at ter­ri­ble cost– if it was a but, you wouldn’t take it.”

TONI SCIARRA POYNTER –“You don’t need to be on the same wave­length to suc­ceed in mar­riage. You just need to be able to ride each other’s wave.”

TONY BENNEWORTH- “It’s been a very show and dull day, but it hasn’t been bor­ing. It’s been a good, enter­tain­ing day’s cricket.”

TONY BLAIR –“I have not sud­denly woken up this week and decided that this is impor­tant. It seems a bit unfair for peo­ple to think so.”

TONY BLAIR –“The art of lead­er­ship is say­ing no, not say­ing yes. It is very easy to say yes.”

TONY BLAIR –“The prin­ci­ples of the Sikh faith are inspir­ing — equal­ity, an oblig­a­tion to help those who are less for­tu­nate than them­selves, tol­er­ance and respect for other indi­vid­u­als, com­mu­ni­ties and faiths. Dur­ing the fes­ti­val of Baisakhi, we can all reflect on the valu­able role that the Sikh com­mu­nity plays in Britain and the Sikh con­tri­bu­tion to our econ­omy, soci­ety and national life.”

TONY ROBBINS –“Suc­cess is the result of good judg­ment, good judg­ment is result of expe­ri­ence, expe­ri­ence is often the result of bad judgment.”

TONY SNOW –“Many peo­ple don’t give a rip about pol­i­tics and know as much about pub­lic affairs as they know about the topog­ra­phy of Pluto.”

TORAH –“Then the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nos­trils the breath of life; and man became a liv­ing being.”

TRADITIONAL HINDU PRAYER –“I pros­trate to the dawn/dusk lamp, whose light is the Knowl­edge Prin­ci­ple (the Supreme Lord), which removes the dark­ness of igno­rance and by which all can be achieved in life.”

TRAVIS ENGEN –“We know that the prof­itable growth of our com­pany depends on the eco­nomic, envi­ron­men­tal, and social sus­tain­abil­ity of our com­mu­ni­ties across the world. And we know it is in our best inter­ests to con­tribute to the sus­tain­abil­ity of those communities.”

TREY PARKER AND MATT STONE –“Liv­ing is hav­ing ups and downs and shar­ing them with friends.”

TRILOKINATH RAINA –“Whether my words have mean­ing tomor­row, Tomorrow’s crit­ics will decide; But I’ll find the gush­ing waters eter­nal If they relieved you of present pain.”

TRYON EDWARDS –“Life is a for­eign lan­guage; all men mis­pro­nounce it.”

TSAO-HSUEH-CHIN “Women… are made of water, with clear and mobile minds, while men are mostly made of mud, mere lumps of unformed clay.”

TULKU THONDUP –“In order to help or heal oth­ers, we must first gain the ben­e­fit of heal­ing bless­ings our­selves. It is like want­ing to give money to a needy per­son: first we must have or make some money, because only then can we give it away The best spir­i­tual train­ing is to serve the needs of oth­ers, the mother beings, with no self­ish moti­va­tions. That means that our pur­pose in gen­er­at­ing peace and joy in our­selves must be for the sake of oth­ers, or at least that must be our aim. Thus we must cre­ate and feel peace and joy in our­selves with no hes­i­ta­tion. When we have gained these ben­e­fits, we must share them with oth­ers, with the great­est joy. If we have peace, spon­ta­neously all our words and actions will be expres­sions of peace and joy. Then, even if we are not actively shar­ing peace or try­ing to help oth­ers, our good qual­i­ties will still have a pos­i­tive effect on many around us.”

TULSIDAS –“As a word and its mean­ing, water and its wave are said to be dif­fer­ent but are not, I do homage to the feet of that Sita-Rama.”

TULSIDAS –“‘Bin sateang vivek na hoye, Ram kripa bin sulabh na soye’ — With­out sat­sang, vivek or the power to dis­crim­i­nate does not come. It is dif­fi­cult to obtain vivek with­out the grace of Rama and with­out par­tic­i­pat­ing in sat­sang. It is tough to live in this jun­gle we call life.”

TULSIDAS –“Thou art Brahnm, I am Jiva. Thou art Mas­ter, I am ser­vant. Thou art father, mother, guru, friend And well-wisher in all respects. From the dif­fer­ent rela­tion­ships between you and me, Acknowl­edge that which you pre­fer, So that Tulsi can some­how Take shel­ter at your mer­ci­ful feet.”

TUPAC SHAKUR –“Real­ity is wrong. Dreams are for real.”

TURKISH PROVERB –“A fool dreams of wealth; a wise man, of happiness.”

TURKISH PROVERB –“A fool dreams of wealth; a wise man, of happiness.”

TYRON EDWARDS –“Age does not depend on years, hut upon tem­pera­ment and health. Some men are horn old, and some never grow so.”

TYRON EDWARDS –“Some men are born old, and some never seem so. If we keep well and cheer­ful we are always young, and at last die in youth, even when years would count us old.”

TZES SILESIUS –“Man, if thou wishes to see God, there or here on earth. Thy heart must first become a pure mirror.”

UCILLE S HARPER –“The nice thing about ego­tists is that they don’t talk about other people.”

UDANA –“He who suc­cess­fully ful­fils his vow Of con­ti­nence in body and in mind, And has achieved the final knowl­edge, he Acquires the right to declare To oth­ers who would walk the Path; he may Give to him­self the n

Decks can leave one feel­ing exposed and uncom­fort­able with­out some kind of def­i­n­i­tion both above and at the edges. It is pos­si­ble to enhance deck pri­vacy and enclo­sure if the deck site lacks the nec­es­sary nat­ural attributes.
