Nadia Boulanger

"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God."
Thomas Jefferson

"There are two kinds of men who never amount to much: those who cannot do what they are told, and those who can do nothing else."
Cyrus H. Curtis

"Wicked men obey from fear; good men, from love."
Aristotle

"My Guru ordered me to attend to the sense 'I am' and to give attention to nothing else. I just obeyed. I did not follow any particular course of breathing, or meditation, or study of scriptures. Whatever happened, I would turn away my attention from it and remain with the sense 'I am', it may look too simple, even crude. My only reason for doing it was that my Guru told me so. Yet it worked! Obedience is a powerful solvent of all desires and fears."
Nisargadatta
