The idea that there is one people in possession of the truth,
one answer to the world's ills, or one solution to humanity's needs
has done untold harm throughout history.

United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan
in his speech on receiving the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled
by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude
of those who have lighted the flame within us.

We make a living from what we get.
We make a life from what we give.
What we do for ourselves dies with us.
What we do outside of ourselves and in the world is immortal.
