[Quote No.25982] Need Area: Friends > General
"One rule I always have held to has been never to question anyone’s faith or try in any way to influence it. How a man or woman feels about God has always seemed to me an intensely personal matter, something each person should decide for himself or herself - and which others should respect, whatever the decision." - Bernard Baruch
(1870 – 1965), Famous American financier, stockbroker, share market investor, statesman. He wrote two autobiographies - the first about his Wall Street career called, ‘Baruch - My Own Story’ and a second about his years in public service called, ‘Baruch – The Public Years’.

[Quote No.25987] Need Area: Friends > General
"Have you ever noticed how animals behave on a sunny day when no danger threatens? They lick their coats, preen themselves, strut and sing, each trying to put on a better show than the other fellow. So with human beings. And like animals, when fear strikes their hearts, they forget their elegances and sometimes even common courtesies." - Bernard Baruch

"In regard to all of these materials that are vital to our national defense [defence], we should maintain a running inventory of both our needs and possible sources of supply.

[Quote No.26033] Need Area: Friends > General
"In the United States alone, we spend seven times as much on war as on education. There's something wrong there. On this Memorial Day, we should certainly honor those who have died at war, but we should dedicate this day, not so much to their memory, but to the search for a way to end the idiocy of the wars that killed them." - Andy Rooney

[Quote No.26046] Need Area: Friends > General
"The rapid progress of the sciences makes me sorry, at times, that I was born so soon. Imagine the power that man will have over matter, a few hundred years from now. We may learn how to remove gravity from large masses, and float them over great distances. Agriculture will double its produce with less labor. All diseases will surely be cured... even old age. If only the moral sciences could be improved as well. Perhaps men would cease to be wolves to one another... and human beings could learn to be human." - Benjamin Franklin

[Quote No.26227] Need Area: Friends > General
"Martial arts provide a model of life. They teach us to be positive and resolved in the face of adversity. They teach us to seek truth (albeit at first through technique), they teach us to seek harmony rather than accord, they teach us cooperation (which is necessary during practice) and they teach us the humility to know that we must act as part of nature not contrary to it. If we must fight, then we should do so with a pure heart. To harm an opponent more than is necessary is savagery and is unbecoming of an artist. It is better that we are judged on our dignity and humanity, rather than by how fearsome we are." - Peter King

[Quote No.26228] Need Area: Friends > General
"In Japanese martial arts, there is a saying, ‘The sword that kills and the sword that spares’. This is usually taken to mean that the swordsman would have such skill that he could choose whether to kill or spare an opponent. Hatsumi Sensei said that there is another meaning, that one action may have included both. An example of this may have been when faced with no other choice, a samurai would have killed an attacker to prevent him from taking innocent lives. Although regretting the taking of life, his one sword cut would have killed and spared life at the same time. To make such a judgement for the correct reasons, the swordsman needed to have had a highly developed sense of humanity and justice. Taking life cannot be compared with giving life. Hurting cannot be compared to healing and destruction cannot be compared to creativity. We are not just martial practitioners, we are martial artists and we should create beauty through the movements of our bodies and hearts." - Peter King

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." - Robert F.
