"As strong as we are united. As weak as we are divided."

"As most men are fettered by bonds of tradition and by imitating the ways followed by their fathers, ancestors, relatives, and acquaintances; everyone continues, without investigating the arguments and reasons, to follow the religion in which he was born and educated thus excluding himself from the possibility of ascertaining the truth, which is the noblest aim of the human intellect. THEREFORE, WE, associate at convenient seasons with learned men of all religions [and of no religion], thus deriving profit from their exquisite discourses and exalted aspirations."
— Akbar, 1582 (Emperor of Muhgal Empire/Inida)

"Love does not cost anything. Kind words and deeds do not cost anything. The real beauty of the world is equal for everyone to see. It was given by God equally to all, without restrictions.

Everyone, was given a beautiful vehicle in which to express love to others. Feelings are free to express and give to ourselves and each other through our willingness to give and care.

What is complicated about this... Why have we made others feel they have to climb mountains and swim oceans in order to make a difference.

All we need to understand my friends, is that human life was given equally to us all, not partially but in totality.

The sun was given to all. It does not shine on the few. So, just has nature is indifferent to our station or situation, we need to know that we are all equal. We need to focus on the things that are constant and not place our values on things that can be blown away with the next, great, wind.

Value life in what ever house it dwells. For when it comes time that we are all stripped to bare bones before the divine and facing eternity, we will understand that the only law we were meant to follow, was to love ourselves and each other. Nothing more...nothing less."
— Carla Jo Masterson

"I am a strong individualist by personal habit, inheritance, and conviction; but it is a mere matter of common sense to recognize that the State, the community, the citizens acting together, can do a number of things better than if they were left to individual action."
— Theodore Roosevelt (The Man In The Arena: Speeches and Essays by Theodore Roosevelt)

"Individuality or Unity? I say there's room for both."
— Brian Celio

"When Coleridge tried to define beauty, he returned always to one deep thought; beauty, he said, is unity in variety! Science is nothing else than the search to discover unity in the wild variety of nature,—or, more exactly, in the variety of our experience. Poetry, painting, the arts are the same search, in Coleridge’s phrase, for unity in variety."
— Bronowski

"Whether it is good or evil, whether life in itself is pain or pleasure, whether it is uncertain-that it may perhaps be this is not important-but the unity of the world, the coherence of all events, the embracing of the big and the small from the same stream, from the same law of cause, of becoming and dying."
— Hermann Hesse (Siddhartha)

"I felt knowledge and the unity of the world circulate in me like my own blood."
