Symeon the New Theologian

"... I pray... that you may discern your affairs in a manner pleasing to God and may so act and endeavor that you may find Christ, as He even now cooperates with you, and in time to come will bestow on you abundantly the enjoyment of the illumination that comes from Him. Do not follow the wolf instead of the shepherd (cf. Mt. 7:15), nor enter into a flock that is diseased (cf. Ezek. 34:4). Do not be alone by yourself?"

“Take the years when youâ€™re young â€“ say, between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five, before you have a mortgage or kids or anything else that needs to be fed â€“ and go balls out on intuition and follow your dreams.

Theyâ€™ll force you to ask yourself the hard questions, theyâ€™ll kick your ass, and most importantly, theyâ€™ll turn you on.”

“In my opinion, if 100% of the people were farming it would be ideal. If each person were given one quarter-acre, that is 1 1/4 acres to a family of five, that would be more than enough land to support the family for the whole year. If natural farming were practiced, a farmer would also have plenty of time for leisure and social activities within the village community. I think this is the most direct path toward making this country a happy, pleasant land.”
