Buddha(563BCE-483BCE)

The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings.

Dean Ornish, MD(1953- )

Love and Intimacy are the root
of what makes us sick and what makes us well,
what causes sadness and what brings happiness,
what makes us suffer and what leads to healing...

George Washington Carver(1864-1943)

How far you go in life depends on
your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving, and
tolerant with the weak and the strong,
because someday in your life you
will have been all of these things.

Kahlil Gibran(1883-1931)

And could you keep your heart in wonder at the
daily miracles of life, your pain would not seem less
wondrous than your joy.

Chief Seattle/Sealth(1786-1866)

Teach your children
what we have taught our children-
that the earth is our mother.
Whatever befalls the earth
befalls the sons and daughters of the earth.
If men spit upon the ground,
they spit upon themselves.
This we know.
The earth does not belong to us;
we belong to the earth.
This we know.
All things are connected
like the blood which unites one family.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth
befalls the sons and daughters of the earth.
We did not weave the web of life;
We are merely a strand in it.
Whatever we do to the web,
we do to ourselves...

In 1876, all Native Americans are ordered to move into reservations

Albert Einstein(1879-1955)

Try and penetrate with our limited means
the secrets of nature and you will find that,
behind all the discernible concatenations,
there remains something subtle,
intangible and inexplicable.

Marcus Aurelius(AD121-180)

If you are distressed by anything external,
The pain is not due to the thing itself,
but to your estimate of it;
And this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
