Marcus LuttrellWhen a warrior fights not for himself, but for his brothers, when his most passionately sought goal is neither glory nor his own life's preservation, but to spend his substance for them, his comrades, not to abandon them, not to prove unworthy of them, then his heart truly has achieved contempt for death, and with that he transcends himself and his actions touch the sublime.

Steven PressfieldGrandmother pointed out my brother Perry, my sister Sarah, and my sister Eliza, who stood in the group.

I heard the words brother and sisters, and knew they must mean something; but slavery had robbed these terms of their true meaning.

That if I want to identify fully with Jesus Christ, who I claim to be my Savior and Lord, the best way that I can do that is to identify with the poor. This I know will go against the teachings of all the popular evangelical preachers. But they're just wrong. They're not bad, they're just wrong. Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken-hearted.

Muqtada al SadrYou have to realize that for some of these people - definitely me when I was growing up - you treat every day like it's your last, because that's the reality of your situation.

So everybody cherishes each other. Instead of calling people the n-word, you're calling people "loved one." There is a level of appreciation for brothers and sisters in the hood.

Teresa of Avila"My aim is to institute perpetual adoration," spoke St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe, Franciscan priest and founder of the Knights of the Immaculata.

Hamid KarzaiIn one family, all goes by two and two. If a member of it has any interest, he or she will confide it to some one other; but the rest know nothing.

This family habit is by far the better, it strengthens the tie between the members, and makes the home one home.

The very same thing is done with humans in this country.

Louise ErdrichLouis 'Thunder Thumbs' Johnson was one of the greatest bass players to ever pick up the instrument, as a member of the Brothers Johnson, we shared decades of magical times working together in the studio and touring the world.
