Power and Violence

... always suspect big talk backed up by small lives. (after The Upper Room Disciplines - 2006, 15 September)

People who have power are sure that it is only violence that guides people, and so they use violence to support the existing order. But the existing order is not based on violence, but on public opinion. (Anonymous, in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 14 September)

If you don't like the way your life is going, change your thoughts and visions and focus on those positive things you want to create in your life. (Susan Smith Jones, Choose to Live Each Day Fully, Day 244)
