Pray not for easy lives, pray to be stronger men. #<Author:0x00007f36af0840c0>
STRENGTH
When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed. #<Author:0x00007f36af06d870>
PEACE
There is nobility in compassion, a beauty in empathy, a grace in forgiveness. #<Author:0x00007f36af0b78d0>
COMPASSION
True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are. #<Author:0x00007f36af0a5ab8>
INCLUDING OTHERS

PERSPECTIVE
If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it. #<Author:0x00007f36af0dd7b0>
OPTIMISM
Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behavior wherever you find it. Apply a rigid standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail as you surely will, ­adjust your lives, not the standards. #<Author:0x00007f36af0c72f8>
CIVILITY
Do your little bit of good where you are; its those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. #<Author:0x00007f36af12fe20>
MOTIVATION
No doubt, unity is something to be desired, to be striven for, but it cannot be willed by mere declarations. #<Author:0x00007f36af11d518>
UNITY

CARING
Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the right stuff to turn our dream into reality. #<Author:0x00007f36af1555d0>
COMMITMENT
There’s something very freeing about losing the anchors that have always defined you. Frightening, sad, but exhilarating in a poignant way, as well. You’re free to float to the moon and evaporate or sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. But you’re free to explore. Some people confuse that with drifting, I suppose. I like to think of it as growing. #<Author:0x00007f36af1ab138>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Courage is contagious. Every time we choose courage, we make everyone around us a little better and the world a little braver. #<Author:0x00007f36af199988>
COURAGE
Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice. #<Author:0x00007f36af183b10>
LOYALTY
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. #<Author:0x00007f36af1d1838>
CREATIVITY
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use. #<Author:0x00007f36af1bb8d0>
