Rest your mind for a moment in the peace of knowing you were created, and you do exist.
You are creating through your choices, even now.
We can change the world one thought at a time, one act of respect and kindness at a time and one soul at a time.
The more mature and loving you become, the more you become concerned with people and creatures less powerful than you, and the more careful and gentle you become with their handling.
A loving person will master himself and contract, to open the space for another to expand and be free in his presence.
Love is not about others; love is a practice of self-mastery.
Real respect is more concerned with your freedom than your obedience.
You cannot learn from what you dominate because anything you suppress, you also smother and silence what it had to teach you.
Respect is the most generous and wise teacher you will ever have in your life.
The gift of life carries in its compelling innocence an implied mandate to protect all life, and this is the noble striving of respect.
