Quote from Jmmanuel, The Talmud of Jmmanuel, (Steelmark publishing)
Chapter 32, page 261, "Jmmanuel's Farewell":

"Instead of being guided by instincts and impulses, people should live according to knowledge and wisdom so that they may live justly according to the laws and commandments. People shall not lose their way in the forest of limitations, but shall expand their consciousness and seek and find knowledge, logic and truth, and from it learn wisdom so that they may come closer to their lives' goal and recognize the creative principle in all things. Thousands of lights will guide them on their paths, if they watch and follow them."

"Go out to the world, my son, and learn what nature has written. Nature is the great school that has been given to the man in order that he learns. Nature doesn´t create theories, Nature doesn´t lie. Nature is the truth personified."

"Every rock has a story written in his face wrinkled and struck by the climate, and these histories are real, every filament of grass, every leaf of a tree or shrub murmurs something for those who want to listen. . ."

“Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Hermann Goering, Hitler’s number 2 man, testifying at the Nuremberg trials

"War has been avoided from a due sense of the miseries, and the demoralization it produces, and of the superior blessings of a state of peace and friendship with all mankind." - Thomas Jefferson

"Never was so much false arithmetic employed on any subject, as that which has been employed to persuade nations that it is their interest to go to war." - Thomas Jefferson

"Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other." - James Madison

"There was never a good war or a bad peace." - Benjamin Franklin

"Preparation for war is a constant stimulus to suspicion and ill will." - James Monroe

"The fiery and destructive passions of war reign in the human breast with much more powerful sway than the mild and beneficent sentiments of peace." - Alexander Hamilton

"My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth." - George Washington

"All political power, so called, rests practically upon this matter of money. Any number of scoundrels, having money enough to start with, can establish themselves as a "government"; because, with money, they can hire soldiers, and with soldiers extort more money; and also compel general obedience to their will. It is with government, as Caesar said it was in war, that money and soldiers mutually supported each other; that with money he could hire soldiers, and with soldiers extort money. So these villains, who call themselves governments, well understand that their power rests primarily upon money. With money they can hire soldiers, and with soldiers extort money. And, when their authority is denied, the first use they always make of money, is to hire soldiers to kill or subdue all who refuse them more money." -- Lysander Spooner

Don't ever try to rule or inspire others unless you can rule and inspire yourself.

- and applying double standards, as well.

How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Don't cry because its over; smile because it happened.
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.

hi Nils

1-thanks for your comments,
you can be sure that they made me think and i will take them in count

just remember that in some way you too are doing the same . . .

2-the truth is that that im not trying to change or control anybody, im just sharing some old sayings from ancient times which contain valuable lessons for any human being who wants to grow

if somebody recognize the truth behind them, and find them useful, fine, if not, fine

3-i don`t think that you have to be perfect to recognize the truth, and share a bit of what you know. . .

im a human being like anybody else,
im not pretending to be something that i`m not,
im very sorry if my posts give the false appearance that i think that im better than anybody else

i just love these short phrases that sometimes contain much more wisdom than entire books,

4- finally remember that

"what is important is the message not the messenger"

it doesnt matter who i am

but what im saying
