Immanuel Kant

"May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law."

Real men amongst geniuses and intellects

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."

Faith

Faith is the knowledge acquired of something based on the testimony of another.

Which is the true face? Many of us honestly do not know! In our journey through childhood, adolescence and adulthood, we often become confused by what others want – our parents, teachers, bosses, husbands, wives to name but a few. We try to become what that person wants, admires or needs, only to find that it really does not work. We try to please, only to find we cannot please everyone. Even if 90% of our acquaintances think we are pretty good, we tend to focus on the 10% who don’t like us! In the face of this, some people lose their way, give up, try to escape, or become bitter. At the extreme end of this, they would become very cynical and say that life has no meaning, and there is no hope.

Nathaniel Hawthorne US author (1804 - 1864)

"No one man can, for any considerable time, wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which is the true one."

The Passion of Christ

Satan: Do you really believe that one man can bear the full burden of sin?
Jesus: Shelter Me, O, Lord. I trust in you. In you I take refuge.
Satan: No one man can carry this burden, I tell you. It is far too heavy. Saving their souls is too costly. No-one. Ever. No. Never.
Jesus: Father, Y-you can do all things. If it is possible, let this chalice pass from me... But let your will be done, not mine.
Satan: Who is your father? Who are you?

It is my home life while growing up through high school, which I consider to have been the single most important factor in any success which I may have had in life. As my parents always said, "...an 'A's grade in a class is not a sign of success." Success is knowing that you have done your best and have exploited your God-given or gene-given abilities to the next maximum extent. More than this, no one can do.
