The Road of Life
I expect to pass through this world but once.
Any good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being, let me do it now.
Let me not neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
~Ettiene De Grellet

Why assume so glibly that the God who presumably created the universe is still running it? It is certainly perfectly conceivable that He may have finished it and then turned it over to lesser gods to operate. In the same way many human institutions are turned over to grossly inferior men. This is true, for example, of most universities, and of all great newspapers. ~ H. L. Mencken

Everyone can understand that being human, you want a happy life, a happy family, to be a happy individual. But material things will not provide you with genuine inner peace or inner happiness. Human values are essential. We must find a way to present basic human values to everyone—and present them not as religious matters but as secular ethics that are essential whether you are religious or not. ~ The Dalai Lama, (from "Ethics for a Secular Millennium")

Are you under the delusion that life and history are about justice and that societies, through some divine intercession, pay for their past atrocities? Throughout human history, no "divine" agency has ever interfered with the infliction of suffering by one culture onto another... not once. Good never triumphs over evil, it exists in spite of it. ~ Jack Kilmon

Human beings are more alike than unalike, and what is true anywhere is true everywhere. ~ Maya Angelou (from "Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now")
