Reasoning or Intellect seems to raise no new Species of Ideas, but to discover or discern the Relations of those received. (Francis Hutcheson)

Let no man's place, or dignity, or riches, puff him up; and let no man's low condition or poverty abase him. For the chief points are faith towards God, hope towards Christ, the enjoyment of those good things for which we look, and love towards God and our neighbor.

Simone Weil

B.K.S. Iyengar

All existing things upon this earth, which have knowledge of their own existence, possess, some in one degree and some in another, the power of thought, accompanied by perception, which is the awakening of thought by the effects of external objects upon the senses.
