If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies. - Mother Teresa of Calcutta

WAR 

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse… A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice - is often the means of their regeneration. - John Stuart Mill, 1806-1873, British philosopher, economist “The Contest in America,” Dissertations and Discussions (1859)

Wisdom doesn’t automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It’s true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place. (Abigail Van Buren)

“We must be the change we wish to see in the world.”
