We do not want our world to perish. But in our quest for knowledge, century by century, we have placed all our trust in a cold, impartial intellect which only brings us nearer to destruction. We have heeded no wisdom offering guidance. Only by learning to love one another can our world be saved. Only love can conquer all.

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

Henry Ward Beecher

If terror groups are to be defeated, it is national governments that will have to do so. In nations like India, governments will have to call on the patriotism of citizens to fight the terrorists. In a nation like Pakistan, the government will have to be persuaded to deal with those in their midst who are complicit.

Bill Kristol

The courage of very ordinary people is all that stands between us and the dark.

Cynicism is cheap -- you can buy it at any Monoprix store -- it's built into all poor-quality goods.

Graham Greene
