Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity.
We have the universe to roam in in imagination. It is our virtue to be infinitely varied. The worst tyranny is uniformity.
From my first dunk at 14 years old to my second NCAA Championship at the University of Tennessee, my intense training with my dad was always to credit.
My real education began when I entered the University of Chicago in September 1951 as a graduate student.
In England, literary pretence is more universal than elsewhere from our method of education.

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
Of course I believe in aliens. I think it's very egocentric to think that there's nothing else with intelligence in the whole universe.
The universal Mind contains all knowledge. It is the potential ultimate of all things. To it, all things are possible.
Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.
