Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding...
I always dream of a pen that would be a syringe.
Simply minding one's own business is more offensive than being intrusive. Without ever saying a word one can make a person feel less-than.
When you take the time to actually listen, with humility, to what people have to say, it's amazing what you can learn. Especially if the people who are doing the talking also happen to be children.
Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.
A word to the wise is infuriating.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
They'll say you are bad or perhaps you are mad or at least you should stay undercover. Your mind must be bare if you would dare to think you can love more than one lover.

Self-consciousness kills communication.
Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.
How it is that animals understand things I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul.
Words are the source of misunderstandings.
When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.
Conversation, like certain portions of the anatomy, always runs more smoothly when lubricated.
So the whole war is because we can't talk to each other.

When you give yourself permission to communicate what matters to you in every situation you will have peace despite rejection or disapproval. Putting a voice to your soul helps you to let go of the negative energy of fear and regret.
Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone's hand is the beginning of a journey. At other times, it is allowing another to take yours.
Many times in life I've regretted the things I've said without thinking. But I've never regretted the things I said nearly as much as the words I left unspoken.
