| The countless stars and constellations that we see today were gradually formed and discovered, but the interesting thing is that the more powerful telescopes we use, the more we will find - more and more stars and lives. Thus, the more we have power to see things, the more there is to see. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, November 12, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Today we seek a moral basis for peace.... It cannot be a lasting peace if the fruit of it is oppression, or starvation, cruelty, or human life dominated by armed camps. It cannot be a sound peace if small nations must live in fear of powerful neighbors. It cannot be a moral peace if freedom from invasion is sold for tribute. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Roosevelt’s Foreign Policy: Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Unedited Speeches and Messages, Harper (1942). Edward M. Bennett, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Search for Victory: American-Soviet Relations, 1939-1945, pp. 5-6, Scholarly Resources, Inc. (1990). FDR attempted to convince Americans that the war in Europe affected U.S. security. ~ |

| All things are the same,-familiar in enterprise, momentary in endurance, coarse in substance. All things now are as they were in the day of those whom we have buried. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Chapter 7 : seek no wealth 01 Do not set your heart on wealth! 02 There is no ignoring Shay and Renenet! 03 Do not let your heart go straying, (for) 04 every man comes to his hour. 05 Do not labour to seek increase, 06 what You have, let it suffice You. 07 If riches come to You by theft, 08 they will not stay the night with You. 09 Comes morning, (and) they are not in your house ; 10 their place is seen but they are not there : 11 earth opened its mouth, leveled them, swallowed them, 12 and made them sink into Dat, (or) 13 they made a hole as big as their size, 14 and sank into the netherworld, (or) 15 they made themselves wings like geese, 16 and flew away to the sky. 17 Do not rejoice in wealth from theft, 18 nor complain of being poor. 19 If the leading archer presses forward, 20 his company abandons him! 21 The boat of the greedy is left (in) the mud, 22 while the bark of the tranquil sails with the wind. 23 You shall pray to the Aten when he rises, 24 saying : 'Grant me well-being and health!' 25 He will give You your needs for this life, 26 and You will be safe from fear. |

| I believe that Harmon would be the easiest to defeat, though he might gain much strength from the Republicans. Clark would surely lose New York. I am beginning to feel that by some stroke of genius they may name Woodrow Wilson, and that seems a pretty hard tussle. |
| ~ William Howard Taft (1857–1930), U.S. president. Letter, Butt to his sister-in-law, Clara F. Butt, September 14, 1911. Archie Butt, Taft and Roosevelt: The Intimate Letters of Archie Butt, Military Aide, 2: 744, Doubleday, Doran & Company (1930). Judson Harmon was the Democratic governor of Ohio, Champ Clark the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Woodrow Wilson the reform governor of New Jersey. Taft hoped that either Clark or Harman would be named. With Bryan as his Warwick, however, the honor fell to Wilson. ~ |
