| Quote of the moment |
| Peace is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free. True peace with ourselves and with the world around us can only be achieved through the development of mental peace. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, July 1, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| If the basic human nature was aggressive, we would have been born with animal claws and huge teeth - but ours are very short, very pretty, very weak! That means we are not well equipped to be aggressive beings. Even the size of our mouth is very small. So I think the basic nature of human beings should be gentle. |

| Quote of the moment |
| On Manners and Etiquette: Manners are made up of trivialities of deportment which can be easily learned if one does not happen to know them; manner is personality the outward manifestation of one's innate character and attitude toward life.... Etiquette must, if it is to be of more than trifling use, include ethics as well as manners. Certainly what one is, is of far greater importance than what one appears to be. |
| ~ Emily Post, Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home, Chap. I,6-7, 1922 ~ |
