Quote

The third principle is that any philosophic knowledge is only valuable if it is true or if it works.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Every separate sector of artistic creation has its own basic rules . . . data which govern it. They are contained in the textbooks on these subjects. A professional knows the rules of the game as a matter of course so that he can achieve, in the upper strata above that, a high quality of art.
L. Ron Hubbard

Probably the most neglected friend you have is you.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
And what do you think will happen to you when you find life is just too good to be left alone? You'll start living it.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Scientology...is not a religion.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Religion is the first sense of community. Your sense of community occurs by reason of mutual experience with others.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
There is no madder nation than Japan. ... And that nation has the highest rate of suicide, has the highest rate of thick-lens glasses and did the most suicidal trick a few years ago. It's the doggonedest country.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
The greatest ability in the whole human race and all amongst the livingness, is the ability to help. And when you can improve that ability all the way up along the line, you've improved about all there is to improve about a person.

Moses and the crooked snake... that turned into a stuck, that was actually a disintegrator pistol.
