| We are born and reborn countless number of times, and it is possible that each being has been our parent at one time or another. Therefore, it is likely that all beings in this universe have familial connections. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, May 7, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Responsibility for political conditions thousands of miles away can no longer be avoided, I think, by this great Nation. Certainly I don’t want to live to see another war. As I have said, the world is smaller, smaller every year. The United States now exerts a tremendous influence in the cause of peace. What we people over here are thinking and talking about is in the interest of peace because it is known all over the world. The slightest remark in either House of Congress is known all over the world the following day. We will continue to exert that influence only if we are willing to share in the responsibility of keeping the peace. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. FDR Speaks authorized edition of speeches, 1933-1945 (recordings of Franklin Roosevelt’s public addresses), side 12, address to Congress on Yalta Conference (March 1, 1945), ed. Henry Steele Commager, Introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt, Washington Records, Inc. (1960). FDR tried to make sure by this address that the sort of return to isolationism which followed World War I would not occur. He believed, and so informed the Congress, that carping criticism of the Allies and the peace agreements would only lead to recriminations and suspicions which could bring another war. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| According to its level of subtlety, consciousness is classified into three levels: the waking state or gross level of consciousness; the consciousness of the dream state, which is more subtle; and the consciousness during sleep, dreamless sleep, which is subtler still. Similarly, the three stages of birth, death, and the intermediate state are also established in terms of the subtlety of their levels of consciousness. On the basis of continuity of the stream of consciousness is established the existence of rebirth and reincarnation. |

| Quote of the moment |
| These Republican leaders have not been content with attacks on me, or my wife, or on my sons. No, not content with that, they now include my little dog Fala. Well, of course I don’t resent attacks, but Fala does resent them. You know, Fala is Scotch, and being a Scottie, learning that the Republican fiction writers in Congress and out had concocted a story that I had left him behind on the Aleutian Islands and had sent a destroyer back to find him—at a cost to the tax payers of two or three, or eight or twenty million dollars—his Scotch soul was furious. He has not been the same dog since. |

FDR Speaks authorized edition of speeches, 1933-1945 (recordings of Franklin Roosevelt’s public addresses), side 11, Teamster’s Union address—”Fala was furious” (September 23, 1944), ed. Henry Steele Commager, Introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt, Washington Records, Inc. (1960). This was reputed to be one of FDR’s best campaign speeches, wherein he responded to a campaign flyer by the Republicans that he had spent a fortune rescuing his dog on an inspection trip of military facilities. ~ |
