LIFE, PURPOSE
Text: "Each of us is put here in this time and place to personally decide the future of humankind. Do you think you were put here for something less?" ~~~~Chief Arvol Looking Horse "We are all flowers in the Great Spirit's garden. We share a common root, and the root is Mother Earth. The garden is beautiful because it has different colors in it and these colors represent different traditions and cultural backgrounds."~~~~~Grandfather David Monongye, Hopi "Let's put our minds together and see what kind of life we can make for our children."~~~~~~~~Sitting Bull "We are visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, somethinig useful with our lives. If you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life." ~~~~H. H. the 14th Dalai Lama "When we find ourselves on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect." ~~~~Mark Twain "Our lives begin to end, the day we become silent about things that matter."~~~~Martin Luther King, Jr. "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service to others."~~~~Mahatma Gandhi "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable, and therefore, not popular."~~~~Carl Jung "As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight. And, it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of darkness." ~~~~William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice (1939-1975) "In the time of gathering together, make no arbitrary choice of your associates; there are secret forces at work leading together those who belong together." ~~~I Ching "The true philosopher honors and pays homage to the gods of all nations (planetary communities, galactic civilizations, and beyond) becoming 'a priest of the entire universe.' ~~~~Proclus, circa 400 AD "Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience. Therefore (individual citizens) have the duty to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occuring." ~~~~Nuremberg War Crime Tribunal, 1950 "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." ~~~~Margaret Mead "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."~~~~Anais Nin
