Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
