One of Ruth Melenie's favorite quotes is:""If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair, we'd never have a friendship, we'd never go into business; because we'd be synical. Well That's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down" --Ray Bradbury
"...Wisdom is achieved very slowly. This is because intellectual knowledge, easily acquired, must be transformed into 'emotional', or subconscious, knowledge. Once transformed, the imprint is permanent. Behavioral practice is the necessary catalyst of this reaction. Without action, the concept will wither and fade. Theoretical knowledge without practical application is not enough." -...Expand for more

"...It is as if a large diamond were to be found inside each person. Picture a diamond a foot long. The diamond has a thousand facets, but the facets are covered with dirt and tar. It is the job of the soul to clean each facet until the surface is brilliant and can reflect a rainbow of colors.
Now some have cleaned many facets and gleam brightly. Others have only managed to clean a few; they do not sparkle so. Yet, underneath the dirt, each person possesses within his or her breast a brilliant diamond with a thousand gleaming facets. The diamond is perfect, not one flaw. The only difference among people are the number of facets cleaned. But each diamond is the same, and each is perfect.
When all the facets are clean and shining forth in a spectrum of lights, the diamond returns to the pure energy that it was originally. The light remains. It is as if the process that goes into making the diamond is reversed, all that pressure released. The pure energy exists in the rainbow of lights, and the lights possess consciousness and knowledge.
And all the diamonds are perfect." --Many Lives, Many Masters".
