"May the tree of our life be firmly rooted in the
soil of love.
Let good deeds be the leaves on that tree.
May words
of kindness form its flowers,
and may peace be its fruit."
Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi

"I think if we are going to reform the world, and make it a better place to live in, the way to do it is not with talk about relationships of a political nature ... or with programs full of things for other people to do. I think that kind of approach starts at the end and presumes the end is the beginning. The social values are right only if the individual values are right. The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there."
