• Reverence for Life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, assisting, and enhancing life and that to destroy, harm, or to hinder life is evil. Affirmation of the world — that is affirmation of the will to live, which appears in phenomenal forms all around me — is only possible for me in that I give myself out for other life.

  Albert Schweitzer

• However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

  Henry David Thoreau

• To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common–this is my symphony.

  William Henry Channing

• Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

  Eugene V. Debs

• For everything there is a season,
  And a time for every matter under heaven:
  A time to be born, and a time to die;
  A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
  A time to kill, and a time to heal;
  A time to break down, and a time to build up;
  A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
  A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
  A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
  A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
  A time to seek, and a time to lose;
  A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
  A time to tear, and a time to sew;
  A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
  A time to love, and a time to hate,
  A time for war, and a time for peace.

  Ecclesiastes

• I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.

  Martin Luther King Jr

• Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
  Look to this Day!
  For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
  In its brief course lie all the
  Verities and Realities of your Existence.
  The Bliss of Growth,
  The Glory of Action,
  The Splendor of Beauty;
  For Yesterday is but a Dream,
  And To-morrow is only a Vision;
  But To-day well lived makes
  Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
  And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
  Look well therefore to this Day!
  Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

  Kalidasa

• I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream — a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man’s skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.

  Martin Luther King Jr
