#31At ebb tide I wrote a line upon the sand, and gave it all my heart and all
my soul. At flood tide I returned to read what I had inscribed and found my
ignorance upon the shore.
-- Kahlil Gibran
#32At the end of your life there'll be a good rest, and no further activities
are scheduled.
#33At the foot of the mountain, thunder:
The image of Providing Nourishment.

And temperate in eating and drinking.
#34Beauty is one of the rare things which does not lead to doubt of God.
-- Jean Anouilh
#35 Before he became a hermit, Zarathud was a young Priest, and
took great delight in making fools of his opponents in front of
his followers.
One day Zarathud took his students to a pleasant pasture and
there he confronted The Sacred Chao while She was contentedly grazing.
"Tell me, you dumb beast," demanded the Priest in his
commanding voice, "why don't you do something worthwhile? What is your
Purpose in Life, anyway?"
Munching the tasty grass, The Sacred Chao replied "MU". (The
Chinese ideogram for NO-THING.)
Upon hearing this, absolutely nobody was enlightened.
Primarily because nobody understood Chinese.
-- Camden Benares, "Zen Without Zen Masters"
#36Before you ask more questions, think about whether you really want to
know the answers.
-- Gene Wolfe, "The Claw of the Conciliator"
#37Brahma said: Well, after hearing ten thousand explanations, a fool is no
wiser. But an intelligent man needs only two thousand five hundred.
-- The Mahabharata
#38By protracting life, we do not deduct one jot from the duration of death.
-- Titus Lucretius Carus
#39Catharsis is something I associate with pornography and crossword puzzles.
-- Howard Chaykin
#40Certainly the game is rigged.

Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win.
-- Robert Heinlein, "Time Enough For Love"
