Conventional Quotes

You can teach almost anyone determined to learn them the basics required to write sentences and paragraphs that say what you want them to say clearly and concisely.

All you have is a rifle, some sneakers and a bowl of rice, and that’s all you need - and a lot of heart Picture Quote #1

Conventional cancer therapy is so toxic and dehumanizing that I fear it far more than I fear death from cancer Picture Quote #1

Ourselves are cosmic and capacious beyond conjecture, and to experience some notion of the planetary perspective is the richest income from travelling. It takes all to inform and educate all. Sallies forth from our cramped firesides into other homes, other hearts, are wonderfully wholesome and enlarging. Travel opens prospects on all sides, widens our horizon, liberates the mind from geographical and conventional limitations, from local prejudices and national, showing the globe in its differing climates, zones, and latitudes of intelligence Picture Quote #1
