"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never
expect it"
Deep thoughts by Jack Handey

“The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.”
― Black Elk

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

"Dalai Lama"

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

"Buddha"

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

"Dalai Lama"

How is it that one match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to start a campfire?
