by killing each other's children.”

"Alone I walked on the ocean strand, A pearly shell was in my hand;

I stooped, and wrote upon the sand My name, the year, the day.

As onward from the sport I passed,

One lingering look behind I cast,

A wave came rolling high and fast,

And washed my lines away."

~Hannah Flagg Gould (1789-1865)

Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.

"We all like to congregate at boundary conditions.

Where land meets water. Where earth meets air.

Where bodies meet mind. Where space meets time.

We like to be on one side, and look at the other."

~Douglas Adams (1952-2001)

How far that little candle throws his beams

So shines a good deed in a weary world.

~ William Shakespeare
