Making this a better world happens one person at a time. You cannot force your beliefs on anyone. Rather, be the example that others can emulate. Live your life so that others may be inspired by your words and deeds. That's how change happens.

Our behavior toward each other is the strangest, most unpredictable, and most unaccountable of all the phenomena with which we are obliged to live. In all of nature, there is nothing so threatening to humanity as humanity itself.

Lewis Thomas

Time ticks by; we grow older. Before we know it, too much time has passed and we've missed the chance to have had other people hurt us. To a younger me this sounded like luck; to an older me this sounds like a quiet tragedy.

Douglas Coupland

Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves.

Abraham Lincoln

An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.

Mahatma Gandhi

Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it

Ralph Waldo Emerson

O me, you juggler, you canker-blossom, you thief of love!

William Shakespeare

For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.

Rainer Maria Rilke

I usually get myself into situations that cause sparks. I mean I'm a girl that likes the storms. I love feeling alive, I love walking out in the cold in my bare feet and feeling the ice on my toes.

Tori Amos

A good leader is one who can tell another how to reach his or her potential a great leader is one who can help another discover this potential for him or herself.

Bo Bennett

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

Thomas Paine

Conscience is the sentinel of virtue.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.

Margaret Mead
