| We have oftener than once endeavoured to attach some meaning to that aphorism, vulgarly imputed to Shaftesbury, which however we can find nowhere in his works, that "ridicule is the test of truth." |
| ~ Thomas Carlyle, Voltaire. Foreign Review, 1829. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| If one feels very profound compassion, this already implies an intimate connection with another person. It is said in our scriptures that we are to cultivate love just like that of a mother toward her only child. This is very intimate. The Buddhist notion of attachment is not what people in the West assume. We say that the love of a mother for her only child is free of attachment. |

| ~ The Path to Tranquility, April 18, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
