Heroism
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic.
It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost,
but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.

Lofty Ideas from a Master
A lofty idea must be had,
not of what one is doing, but of what one may some day do.
Otherwise there is no point in working on.

Educate
If you are planning for a year, sow rice
if you are planning for a decade, plant trees
if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.

Gotta' speak to be heard ..
"People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing."

In my humdrum life,
the daily battle hasn't been good versus evil.
It's hardly so epic.
Most days, my real battle
is doing good versus doing nothing.
