Leonardo da Vinci, by Maurice W. Brockwell
"Leonardo," wrote an English critic as far back as 1721, "was a Man so happy in his genius, so consummate in his Profession, so accomplished in the Arts, so knowing in the Sciences, and withal, so much esteemed by the Age wherein he lived, his Works so highly applauded by the Ages which have succeeded, and his Name and Memory still preserved with so much Veneration by the present Age--that, if anything could equal the Merit of the Man, it must be the Success he met with. Moreover, 'tis not in Painting alone, but in Philosophy, too, that Leonardo surpassed all his Brethren of the 'Pencil.'"

Little Folded Hands, by Anonymous
Now I awake and see the light;
Lord, Thou hast kept me through the night.
To Thee I lift my voice and pray
That Thou wilt keep me through the day.
If I should die before 'tis done,
O God, accept me through Thy Son! Amen.

Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa Bk. 3 Pt. 1, by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Om! Having bowed down to Narayana, and Nara the foremost of male beings, and the goddess Saraswati also, must the word _Jaya_ be uttered.
Janamejaya said, "O thou foremost of regenerate ones, deceitfully defeated at dice by the sons of Dhritarashtra and their counsellors, incensed by those wicked ones that thus brought about a fierce animosity, and addressed in language that was so cruel, what did the Kuru princes, my ancestors--the sons of Pritha--(then) do? How also did the sons of Pritha, equal unto Sakra in prowess, deprived of affluence and suddenly overwhelmed with misery, pass their days in the forest?

Mind Inscription
The nature of the mind is un-born. Why should it be necessary to know this? Fundamentally there is not one single phenomenon; who then can speak about defilement and purification? There is no end to coming and going, and no matter how much one seeks, one will never realize it! When everything is inactive, then the bright stillness will manifest by itself.

Mind and Thoughts by Premansu Chand
Patanjali in his scripture "Yogasutra" describes that there are fifty types of thoughts. However in spiritualism and Yoga one should believe in thoughts based on proof only. All other thoughts build up ignorance in the mind and hides the truth.

Myths and Legends of China, by E. T. C. Werner
The chief literary sources of Chinese myths are the Li tai shen hsien t'ung chien, in thirty-two volumes, the Shen hsien lieh chuan, in eight volumes, the Feng shen yen i, in eight volumes, and the Sou shen chi, in ten volumes. In writing the following pages I have translated or paraphrased largely from these works. I have also consulted and at times quoted from the excellent volumes on Chinese Superstitions by Pere Henri Dore, comprised in the valuable series Varietes Sinologiques, published by the Catholic Mission Press at Shanghai...

Approximately one-third of our lives are spent while asleep. Consider
that for a person who lives for sixty years, twenty years of that
lifetime are passed unconsciously. Moreover, it is no mistake that
enlightenment and other exalted states of consciousness are described as
one who has overcome the sleep of ignorance...

Overcoming Pride By Brian Jones
The first church I ever served was located in an extremely small town in Eastern Kentucky. There wasn't even a stop-light at the time. The church was full of wonderful farmers, which was ironic, because the only time I had ever been to a farm up until that time was on school field trips. On one occa...

Plato and Platonism, by Walter Pater
WITH the world of intellectual production, as with that of organic generation, nature makes no sudden starts. Natura nihil facit per saltum; and in the history of philosophy there are no absolute beginnings. Fix where we may the origin of this or that doctrine or idea, the doctrine of "reminiscence," for instance, or of "the perpetual flux," the theory of "induction," or the philosophic view of things generally, the specialist will still be able to find us some earlier anticipation of that doctrine, that mental tendency.
