It does not need your lectures or your charity. The souls of men have been fed with indigestibles, but the soul could make use of beer. |

| Once I prophesied that this generation of Americans had a rendezvous with destiny. That prophecy now comes true. To us much is given; more is expected. This generation will nobly save or mainly lose the last best hope of earth. The way is plain, peaceful, generous just. A way, which if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless. |

| "Handsome bell-rope, isn't it?" said Owl. Pooh nodded. "It reminds me of something," he said, "but I can't think what. Where did you get it?" "I just came across it in the Forest.

| The criterion that distinguishes a school as Buddhist is its acceptance of four fundamental tenets, known as the four seals. These are: (i) all composite phenomena are impermanent; (ii) all contaminated things and events are unsatisfactory; (iii) all phenomena are empty and selfless; and (iv) nirvana is true peace. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, August 9, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
