| Wilful sterility is, from the standpoint of the nation, from the standpoint of the human race, the one sin for which the penalty is national death, race death; a sin for which there is no atonement.... No man, no woman, can shirk the primary duties of life, whether for love of ease and pleasure, or for any other cause, and retain his or her self-respect. |
| ~ Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), U.S. Republican (later Progressive) politician, president. Sixth annual message to Congress, December 3, 1906. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| What is endeavor? It is finding joy in doing what is good. To do that, it is necessary to remove anything that counteracts it, expecially laziness. Related to these is taking undue pleasure in idleness and sleep and being indifferent to samsara as a state of suffering. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, June 14, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Compassion, tolerance, and altruism bring us happiness and calmness. Therefore, these are basically spiritual. Religion comes later. Actually, religion is meant for satisfaction and is the ultimate source of happiness. It simply tries to strengthen the element of mental happiness. Perhaps positive mental thought is my conception of spirituality. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, March 13, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
