Ethics for the New Millennium, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Riverhead Books, A member of Penguin Putnam Inc., New York 1999.

“I am convinced that human nature is basically gentle, and not aggressive. And every one of us has a responsibility to act as if all our thoughts, words, and deeds matter. For, really, they do. Our lives have both purpose and meaning. The only clear thing is that we humans are the only species with the power to destroy the earth, as we know it. The birds have no such power, nor do the insects, nor does any mammal. Yet if we have the capacity to destroy the earth, so, too, do we have the capacity to protect it.”

LOVE
, by Leo F. Buscaglia, 1972.

The Game Of Life And How To Play It, by Florence Scovel Shinn, 1925, Published by DeVorss & Company, Marina del Rey, CA.
