War no longer pays; there is no motive for aggression... All nations can coexist peacefully.
Ludwig von MisesWhat eleven- to thirteen-year-old boys fear is passivity of any kind. When they do act passively we can be fairly certain that it is an act of aggression designed to torment a parent or teacher. . . . Mischief at best, violence at worst is the boy's proclamation of masculinity.

Curtis LeMayThe image of the Goddess inspires women to see ourselves as divine, our bodies as sacred, the changing phases of our lives as holy, our aggression as healthy, our anger as purifying, and our power to nurture and create, but also to limit and destroy when necessary, as the very force that sustains all life. Through the Goddess we can discover our strength, enlighten our minds, own our bodies, and celebrate our emotions. We can move beyond narrow, constricting roles and become whole.

Calvin CoolidgeIn that sense, Obama is America's first postmodern president. If his predecessors tended to see the world in terms of good and evil, Obama sees the world in terms of victims and victimizers - with the United States often in the role of victimizer.

Bryant H. McGillGiving up is not the answer. Neither is giving in. Stand your ground. There is a way of doing that without having to be combative.

Simply and quietly claiming your right to be You is the way.
Neale Donald Walsch
