Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

‘Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to attack an innocent person.’…

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command to you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”
Deuteronomy 6:4-7
Family is not an important thing. Its everything.
Filipino quote on family
“Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt. Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should be touched gently because the time is short. Civilization is another word for respect for life.”
Elizabeth Goudge
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
1st Corinthians 131-3
Love is basic for the birth of a true society, while violence has in it the essence of anti sociality. Love is positive, is eternal: violence is degeneracy, it is its own destruction.
Toyohiko Kagawa
Civilization is first of all a moral thing. Without truth, respect for duty, love of neighbor, and virtue, everything is destroyed. The morality of a society is alone the basis of civilization.
Henri Frederic Amiel
“When a people are denied light, home, freedom, justice, all the good things without which life is not possible, and which constitute man’s patrimony, a person has the right to deal with the people who despoil him, like a thief who assaults us in the roadway. No qualifications, no exceptions. “
Jose P. Rizal
‘Nationalism is the worst enemy of peace.’
George Orwel
“Then the Lord took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it.”

“For the creation was subjected to futility…because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption [decay] into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”
Romans 8:20-21
Sooner or later, we will have recognized that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.
Evo Morales
