Life is not about win-and-lose. Life is about being or not being, expressing or not expressing, who you are.

You can choose to live your lives as demonstrations of your highest and grandest beliefs, rather than as denials of them.

...be a light unto the darkness, and curse it not

If you believe the noises of the world, rather than the silences of your soul, you will be lost.

If a spaceship from the outer reaches of the galaxy landed on Earth in the next two months, and its occupants climbed out and presented Earthlings with a list of secrets - a simple formula - for making life finally work on this planet without violence, killing, and war, without turmoil, pain, and suffering, without want, lack, and despair, do you think we would be wise to look it over? Even if it contradicted everything we knew to be true or thought to be so?

Keep moving. Don't stop. But don't rush. Don't race around. Sure and steady gets you there every time.

Because we believe that our ethnic group, our society, our political party, our God, is better than your God, we kill each other.
