"Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone.
Kindness in anotherÔÇÖs trouble,
Courage in your own."
Adam Lindsay Gordon
"Small deeds of goodness in the aftermath of trouble can blanket the world with renewed hearts and minds"
Anon
"God is a comedian playing to an audience that is afraid to laugh."
Voltaire
"We must act responsibly. To the degree to which we should oppose everything that could give itself to war, to crime, to catastrophe. Because we who lived through the war know how it begins, where it comes from. We know that it does not begin only with bombs & rockets, but with fanaticism & pride, stupidity & contempt, ignorance & hatred. It feeds on all that grows on that & from that.
That is why, just as some of us fight the pollution of the air, we should fight the polluting of human affairs by ignorance & hatred."

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
