Excellent plumber
We must learn to honor excellence in every socially accepted human activity, however humble the activity, and to scorn shoddiness, however exalted the activity. An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society that scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
-John W. Gardner, author and leader (8 Oct 1912-2002)
Peace...peace
Imagine there's no countries, /

And no religion, too. /
Imagine all the people /
Living life in peace.

"It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success."

When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it, always.
