In silent wonder the wise see the creator as the life flaming in all creation.
- Mundaka Upanisha
Streams of Truth
They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have traced up it’s stream no higher, stand, and wisely stand, by Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it there with reverence and humility;
but they who behold where it comes trickling into this lake or that pond, gird up their loins once more, and continue their pilgrimage toward it’s fountainhead.

A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in them
but the woods and swamps that surround it.
-A township where one primitive forest waves above
while another primitive forest rots below-
such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes,
but poets and philosophers for the coming ages.
In such soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest,
and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer
eating locusts and wild honey.
-Henry David Thoreau
