Choosing Leaders

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all the
coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious
treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you
love into slavery.

Octavia Butler

Dirty Word

Angry is only a dirty word to
folks who are interested in
maintaining the status quo.

Glennon Doyle

Blissful

Loneliness is sad.
Aloneness is blissful.

Osho

Seeing My Work

I began to see my work was purification. It was getting my theme straight, it was lightening up my attachments, getting out of living such a complicated life, simplifying my life, relating to other human beings so that when I met another person I found the place in them where we are and I didn't get caught and lost in the melodrama of our relationships.

Ram Dass

The Greatest Blessing

My vision of the new man is of a rebel, of a man who is in search of his original self, of his original face. A man who is ready to drop all masks, all pretension, all hypocrisies, and show the world what he, in reality, is. Whether he is loved or condemned, respected, honored or dishonored, crowned or crucified, does not matter, because to be yourself is the greatest blessing in existence.

Osho

No Need for Anybody

Aloneness is the presence of oneself.
Aloneness is very positive. It is a
presence, overflowing presence.
You are so full of presence that you
can fill the whole universe with
your presence and there is no need
for anybody.

Osho

Nothing Else

If you are not capable of being alone,
your relationship is false. It is just a
trick to avoid your loneliness,
nothing else.

Osho
