Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner.

First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.
Carlos Santana

Angels cry because they want to experience what you and I feel: the moment. They live in eternity. They dont know what it is like to read a newspaper and get ink on your fingers. They dont know what it is like to take your shoes off and wiggle your toes under the dinner table.
