This site is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Alan William Smolowe who gave birth to the creation of this database.
We rarely repent of speaking little, but often of speaking too much.
Everything is a succession of appearances whose source is the accumulation of causes and conditions.
Wilhelm Büchsel, fully Wilhelm Karl von Gotthilf Büchsel
Orthodoxy can be learnt from others; living faith must be a matter of personal experience.

Sri Chinmoy, born Chinmoy Kumar Ghose
The meaning of life is to become inseparably one with God the transcendental Bliss and God the universal Peace. The meaning of life is to achieve unconditional self-giving and a self-giving will... complete faith in oneself and a birthless and deathless faith in God. Life is love... Life needs a dream and a goal... Transcendence is the glorious beginning of human perfection... Who am I? I am my life’s unfinished God-manifestation.

Happiness is fundamental in morals only because happiness is not something to be sought for, but is something now attained, even in the midst of pain and trouble, whenever recognition of our ties with nature and with fellow-men releases and informs our action.
