“There’s no such thing as `one, true way’; the only answers worth having are the ones you find for yourself; leave the world better than you found it.

“Three things see no end-A flower blighted ere it bloomed,A message that was wasted,And a journey that was doomed.”

“First commandment: there ain't no such thing as "one true way" and the way you find is only good for you, not anybody else, because your interpretation of what you see and feel and understand as the truth is never going to be the same as anyone else's.Second commandment: the only answers worth having are the ones you find for yourself.Third commandment: leave the world better than you found it.Fourth commandment: if it isn't true, going to do some good, or spread a little love around, don't say it, do it, or think it.Fifth commandment: there are only three things worth living for; love in all it's manifestations, freedom, and the chance to keep humanity going a little while longer. They're the same things worth dying for. And if you aren't willing to die for the things worth living for, you might as well turn in your membership in the human race.”

“Give your enemy a face, If he is human, do not dehumanize him. Know him and know why he is your enemy. If your enemy is within you, understand what it is and why you are afraid. Put a face on your fear. When you understand it, and it is no longer vague and shapeless, you will find that your fear is no longer so formidable.”
