In My Eyes
"When I look out at the world, I don't see humans; I see people with families, with friends, and with lives. I see humankind."
Understanding is Limitless
"Human understanding is only limited by our willingness to learn."
--The Doctor
Freedom by the Truth
"Our freedom is chained down by lies, and so the truth will set us free."
--The Doctor
Borrowing the Land
"We did not inherit this land from our forefathers, but are borrowing it from our posterity."
Our world will one day belong our children and our children's children when we move on. We must learn to treat our world with care, keeping our thoughts that this isn't our world, but our children's.

Failure to Fall
"One who brags he has never fallen down brags of nothing."
Those who try to accomplish things will at some point fall down. Those who do nothing never fall down and therefore never learn as we learn and grow from our mistakes.
Thomas Edison tried over one thousand times before successfully constructing the world's first incandescent light bulb, but as he put it, "I have not failed 1000 times" but "successfully discovered 1000 ways not to make a light bulb."

God's Game
I lay motionless upon my old bed,
Seeing that life is too short and too fast.
My friends and fam'ly have been so long dead,
But I'll see them soon; I'll see them at last.
My will has been written so long ago
As was my heir chosen from those I love.
My time left is running quite short, I know,
When my time ends, I leave for far above.
But am I ready to take to the air,
To return back to God's welcoming hand?
Death is life's only rule, the game is fair.
My game is done; I'll depart from this land.
At last, I will see heaven's pearl-strewn gate,
And there, up there, I will await my fate.

The Right Time
"If you wait for the right time, it's already too late."
--The Doctor
When we wait to do something because "the time isn't right", we are just wasting time. It's never the wrong time to have a new experience. New experiences are how we grow as people.
I once had a good friend, and he was waiting for just the right time to tell his father how much he loved him. Well he never got the chance to; his father died from a heart attack. When he told me this story, I knew that I mustn't make the same mistake.
Stupid Mistakes
"Making mistakes is human. Making them again and again is stupidity."
Everyone makes mistakes. It's simply a fact. To make a mistake only shows that you are human. But we shouldn't make the same mistake again and again, because that would be plain stupidity.
Stupidity is lacking intelligence, and repeating the same mistake over and over is unintelligence. It's understandable to make mistakes, maybe even make it a couple more times, but never make the same mistake repeatedly; it's a waste of time and plain stupid.

Peace on Earth
"How can we expect to live in peace with each other if we cannot even live in peace with our home? We can't."
We can't even live at peace with our home, with our dear planet Earth. We are destroying natural resources faster than they are replenished. We are destroying habitats, species, and entire ecosystems.
And all the while we are fighting wars killing each other. For what? To promote our own beliefs? If we keep this up, how are we to survive?
The answer is peace. God sees us all as equals, no matter our religion, race, or beliefs. The answer is always peace.

Setting Goals
"Our downfall will not result from goals too lofty, but from goals too low."
When we set our goals, we must be sure to set them high enough so that they aren't so easily reached. If they are too easily reached, then we aren't testing our ability to strive the best that we can be.
The goals should be kept realistic, however, so that it is possible to obtain them (goals set too high could deter our perseverance). The better the goals we set, the better the results.
