Human beings have a vested interest in being trustworthy.

We have a planet that is at risk, where resources don't have a permanent life. We are going to have to make the decision: are we going to survive or are we waiting for our extinction? One day we will wake up and find people are fighting not for oil but water.

Forgiveness is not generally something that you find as a coin to be used by politicians.

To forgive is not just to be altruistic.

Forgiveness is an absolute necessity for continued human existence.

And God says to all of us, you are no chicken; you are an eagle. Fly, eagle, fly. And God wants us to shake ourselves, spread our pinions, and then lift off and soar and rise, and rise toward the confident and the good and the beautiful. Rise towards the compassionate and the gentle and the caring. Rise to become what God intends us to be - eagles, not chickens.

When people decide they want to be free, there is nothing that can stop them.
