Drugs, gambling, and prostitution are the Big Three underground 'moneymakers' in consensual crime. There would be, however, significant boosts to the economy if the stigma attached to the other consensual crimes were eliminated through legalization.
Peter McWilliams
If you were arrested for being kind to yourself..would there be enough evidence to convict you?
Peter McWilliams
Send the light of your own loving ahead of you. When you get there, the loving will have prepared a place for you. Be kind, gentle, and enjoy the journey.
Peter McWilliams
If you want peace, stop fighting. If you want peace of mind, stop fighting with your thoughts.
Peter McWilliams

Peter McWilliams
You have to follow the old rule for a while. In fact, once you master the old rule, you are then the master-and masters get to change things.
Peter McWilliams
Don't accept the limitations of other people who claim things are 'unchangeable'. If it's written in stone, bring your hammer and chisel.
