Some more to think about...

Only that in you which is me can hear what I'm saying.
~Baba Ram Dass


Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.
~Ludwig Börne


You become responsible forever for what you've tamed.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince, 1943,
translated from French by Richard Howard


If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky?
~Stanislaw J. Lec


There are some remedies worse than the disease.
~Publilius Syrus


If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one.
~Russian Proverb


We have all taken risks in the making of war. Isn't it time
that we should take risks to secure peace? ~J. Ramsay MacDonald



Do you understand? Do you hear me? I challenge you to be great.
End this war. Make your mark in history by achieving something
extraordinary, different and new.


War is an ancient response; we know the results of that action.
Bomb the enemy into submission. How else can we handle this
situation without more bloodshed? Try something new, something
different. I understand you are afraid of failure. Even possibly
afraid of more deaths (American or otherwise). But we can only
grow by trying new ideas. Finding new solutions to old problems.


This is the greatest country in the world. We have access to
forward-thinking minds and technology. Why are we using them
to wage war and not peace?
