A Few Inspirations........
"Nothing that grieves us can be called little; by the eternal laws of proportion, a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size." Mark Twain
From the equality of
rights springs identity of our highest interests; you cannot subvert your
neighbor's rights without striking a dangerous blow at your own.
Carl
Schurz
Fairness is an across-the-board requirement for all our interactions with each other ...Fairness treats everbody the same.
You
cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
Henry David Thoreau
"Every day we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our life..., our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive."
Thich Nhat Hanh
"We proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope. That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow."
Barack Obama
""Be the change you want to see
in this world."
Mahatma Gandhi
