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")

I would like to thank a world that never understood or accepted me, family and friends that never believed in me, and a God with one hell of a sense of humour.  You have all made me what I am today.  Let that weigh heavily on your consciences. ~ David Draiman, lead singer of Disturbed

In dwelling, live close to the ground.  In thinking, keep to the simple.  In conflict, be fair and generous.  In governing, don't try to control.  In work, do what you enjoy.  In family, be completely present. ~ Tao Te Ching
