Be flexible like trees; when the wind blows bend, but do not break.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Authenticity is our natural state of being. The authentic self is a state of being where we are centered, creative, adaptive, and inspired.
~ Henna Inam
Disequilibrium is often instigated by the will to power, a sleepless drive in the human personality to control others, to force them to do what one wants, or not to do what one opposes.

Awful momentum makes carrying through easier than calling off folly.
~ Barbara W. Tuchman
