One of Mary's favorite quotes is:""Be the change you want to see in the world." Gandhi
"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Shakespeare
"I think a woman being forced to watch over another woman's children is unnatural. On a primal level, shouldn't a female want to kill off a rival mate's offspring? I mean, I know I'm not supposed to say that, I'm supposed to quote some Mother Teresa crap about one world, one love, but frankly, I think getting saddled with bratty twin stepdaughters is biologically grotesque. If I had them they'd end up in the trunk of my car." From "Jennifer Johnson is Sick of Being Single"
"To avoid criticism: say nothing, do nothing, be nothing."
"You ask a certain question again and again, in a sincere fashion, and the answer appears. But, in my experience, at least, that answer arrives according to its own mysterious celestial timing, and often in disguise. And it comes in a way you're not prepared for, or don't want, or can't, at first, accept. " Breakfast with Buddha, Roland Merullo

Now, after all these years, mankind had finally managed to utterly erode everything that had once been so beautiful about Jesus." The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown.
"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; What we havve done for others and the world remains immortal." Albert Pike
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. ~Buddha
Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what's right. ~Isaac Asimov
An expert must be bold if he hopes to alchemize his homespun theory into conventional wisdom. His best chance of doing so is to engage the public's emotions, for emotion is the enemy of rational argument. And as emotions go, one of them--fear--is more potent than the rest. Freakonomics
In the best case religion gives people bad reasons to be good where good reasons are actually available and in the worst case it separates moral thinking from the actual details of human and animal suffering.
