LAUGHTER

CONFIDENCE

That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed. #<Author:0x00007ff6326aae98>

PEACE

A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. #<Author:0x00007ff63271a478>
