Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness's of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Carl Jung

99% of your thoughts are useless. William James put it best:

[BadTicket]

“We need an enemy to give people hope. Someone said that patriotism is the last refuge of cowards: those without moral principles usually wrap a flag around themselves, and the bastards always talk about the purity of the race. National identity is the last bastion of the dispossessed. But the meaning of identity is now based on hatred, on hatred for those who are not the same. Hatred has to be cultivated as a civic passion. The enemy is the friend of the people. You always want someone to hate in order to feel justified in your own misery. Hatred is the primordial passion. It is love that’s abnormal.”

- Umberto Eco

Sartre took the work of john Locke and applied it to people. To him 2 men waiting at a bus stop, one on his way to start his job at a hospital and one waiting to explode a bomb on the bus are of equal value as neither action has yet been taken.

Here's one for the stoners, "the sum of all evil would be greatly diminished if men could only learn to sit quietly in their rooms". Pascal. Another Frenchy, just for balance.
