| Quote of the moment |
| It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act. There are two aspects to action. One is to overcome the distortions and afflictions of your own mind, that is, in terms of calming and eventually dispelling anger. This is action out of compassion. The other is more social, more public. When something needs to be done in the world to rectify the wrongs, if one is really concerned with benefitting others, one needs to be engaged, involved. |

| And there are few things in this life so revolting as sipped beer. But let it go down your throat "as suds go down the drain," and you will quickly realize that this is a true friend, to be admitted to your most secret counsels. Long draughts with an open throat are the secret. |
| ~Maurice Healy, 1940 ~ |
