Rene DescartesÔÇ£
I suppose therefore that all things I see are illusions; I believe that nothing has ever existed of everything my lying memory tells me. I think I have no senses.

May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence & blood stained conflicts!
Pope Leo XIV
RE: Sayings & Quotes - Lilith7 - 06-07-2025
ÔÇ£I allow myself to hope that the world will emerge from its present troubles, that it will one day learn to give the direction of its affairs, not to cruel swindlers & scroundels but to men possesed of wisdome & courage. I see before me a shining vision; a world where work is pleasant & not excessive, where kindly feeling is common & where minds released from fear create delight for the eye,ear & heart. I do not say this could be done tomorrow, but I do say that it could be done within a thousand years, if only men would bend their minds to the achoevement of the kind of happiness that should be distinctive of man.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books,its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books,manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long, that nation will begin to forget what it is & what it was. The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.ÔÇØ
Milan Kundera
"The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped." -
