Never lose a holy curiosity.

Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it. 

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

I believe in religion that teaches freedom, equality and brotherhood

We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.

Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress. 

Religion and slavery are incompatible.

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

Whether you call it Buddhism or other religion, self-discipline, that's important. Self-discipline with awareness of consequences.

Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?

Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.
