Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.

Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.

Aldous Huxley

The surest way to establish your credit is to work yourself into the position of not needing any.

Maurice Switzer

King consciously steered away from legal claims and instead relied on civil disobedience.

Constance Baker Motley

A degree of lying - you know, white lies - seems to be inherent in all languages and all forms of communication.

Matthew Lesko

Some of the greatest survivors have been women. Look at the courage so many women have shown after surviving earthquakes in the rubble for days on end.

Bear Grylls

In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.

Phil Ochs
