Of all nature's masterpieces, the newborn, whether fish, bird, mammal, or human, is surely the most exquisite. For centuries, humankind considered the womb environment sacred, free of violence and trespass... until humankind unwittingly produced synthetic chemicals that invade the security of the womb and create dissonance rather than harmony.

by Marie T. Russell.

Every day we make choices. Some seem simple, some seem complex. What will I eat for breakfast? What will I say to this person? How will I react to this situation? Some choices we make without even thinking about it, and sometimes we are simply remaking a choice we made a long time ago.

by Queen Noor Al-Hussein.

As we enter a new era, it is time to create a new culture -- a culture of peace rather than war. The real issue is security. But like so much else, the definition of security is changing. Threats today come not only from war, but also from economic and social inequities, human rights abuses, marginalization, and poverty.

by Coretta Scott King.

Let's dare to dream of a Beloved Community where starvation, famine, hunger, and malnutrition will not be tolerated because the civilized community of nations won't allow it. We should dare to dream of a world being reborn in freedom, justice, and peace, a world that nurtures all of its precious children and protects them with compassion and caring.

by Swami Sivananda Radha

Each culture sees human life as a progression through a series of stages... in an attempt to understand the evolution of human beings. Those people on the outer circle are just holding onto life; for them it is a matter of survival.
