"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." Martin Luther King
"Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love."
Martin Luther King
Those who would take over the earth
And shape it to their will
Never, I notice, succeed.
The earth is like a vessel so sacred
That at the mere approach of the profane
It is marred
And when they reach out their fingers it is gone.
For a time in the world some force themselves ahead
And some are left behind,
For a time in the world some make a great noise
And some are held silent,
For a time in the world some are puffed fat
And some are kept hungry,
For a time in the world some push aboard
And some are tipped out:
At no time in the world will a man who is sane
Over-reach himself,
Over-spend himself,
Over-rate himself.
—LaoTzu 600BCE
"Great friends are jewels unearthed on casual strolls through hills and along dirt roads. Discovered they walk with value unfolding around each one of our steps and each glance at the surrounding terrain we glimpse our friends, and smile at the
relationship lacing itself through our lives."
"We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend."
Robert Louis Stevenson
No matter how different we are on the outside, our hearts and minds can join together in peace to accomplish great things!
"Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness."
~ Kahlil Gibran
"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him... But of good leaders, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, "We did this ourselves."
--Lao-Tzu, Chinese philosopher
