The world is

A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that
you are unique in all the world. There is nothing that is
an accident. You are a special combination for a purpose
and don't let them tell you otherwise, even if they tell you
that purpose is an illusion. You are that combination so
that you can do what is essential for you to do. Don't ever
believe that you have nothing to contribute. The world is
an incredible unfulfilled tapestry. And only you can fulfill
that tiny space that is yours.
--Leo Buscaglia, Psychologist, author

conquest

If there is one principle more deeply rooted in the mind of
every American, it is that we should have nothing to do
with conquest.
--Thomas Jefferson

Bonus Quote

We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while
