• I hadn't been out to the hives before, so to start off she gave me a lesson in what she called 'bee yard etiquette'. She reminded me that the world was really one bee yard, and the same rules work fine in both places. Don't be afraid, as no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still, don't be an idiot; wear long sleeves and pants. Don't swat. Don't even think about swatting. If you feel angry, whistle. Anger agitates while whistling melts a bee's temper. Act like you know what you're doing, even if you don't. Above all, send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved.

• I am terrified by this dark thing That sleeps in me; All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity. Clouds pass and disperse. Are those the faces of love, those pale irretrievables? Is it for such I agitate my heart? I am incapable of more knowledge. What is this, this face So murderous in its strangle of branches? - Its snaky acids kiss. It petrifies the will. These are the isolate, slow faults That kill, that kill, that kill.

• When you have an emotional reaction to what you see, you are judging. That is your signal that you have an issue inside of yourself - with yourself - not with the other person. If you react to evil, look inside yourself for the very thing that so agitates you, and you will find it. If it were not there, you will simply discern, act appropriately, and move on.

• Permítanme ahora advertirles de la manera más solemne contra los efectos nefastos del espíritu de partido. Los males comunes y continuos del espíritu de partido son suficientes para hacer que el interés y el deber de un pueblo sabio sea desalentarlo y refrenarlo. Siempre sirve para distraer a los consejos públicos y debilitar la administración pública. Agita a la comunidad con celos infundados y falsas alarmas; enciende la animosidad de una parte contra otra. En los gobiernos puramente electivos, es un espíritu que no debe alentarse.

  George Washington

• El alma es la que percibe y revela la verdad. Conocemos la verdad cuando la vemos, que el escéptico y el burlón digan lo que quieran... Distinguimos los anuncios del alma, sus manifestaciones de su propia naturaleza, por el término Revelación. Éstas van siempre acompañadas de la emoción de lo sublime. Pues esta comunicación es un influjo de la mente Divina en nuestra mente. Es un reflujo del riachuelo individual ante las olas fluyentes del mar de la vida. Cada aprehensión distinta de este mandamiento central agita a los hombres con asombro y deleite.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson
