If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
--Martin Luther King Jr.
When you do things from your soul you feel a river moving in you, a joy. When action comes from another section, the feeling disappears.
--Jalaluddin Rumi
Joy is not in things; it is in us.
--Richard Wagner
Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for -- because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything. --Peter Marshall
Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict.
--Dorothy Thompson
