It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

Each of the world religions has its own particular genius, its own special insight into the nature and requirements of compassion, and has something unique to teach us.

If it is not tempered by compassion, and empathy, reason can lead men and women into a moral void.

Islam is a religion of success. Unlike Christianity, which has as its main image, in the west at least, a man dying in a devastating, disgraceful, helpless death.

We are most creative and sense other possibilities that transcend our ordinary experience when we leave ourselves behind.

Huge imbalance in power has resulted in the alienation, rage, fury, and awful amoral terrorism that has erupted and is erupting at the present time. And in order to counter this, we need to make the compassionate voice of religion and morality a dynamic force in our world.

There is nothing in Islam that is more violent than Christianity.
