"I Hate To Hear People Say This Judge Will Vote So And So, Because He Is A Democrat -- And This One So And So Because He Is A Republican. It Is Shameful. The Judges Have The Constitution For Their Guidance; They Have No Right To Any Politics Save The Politics Of Rigid Right And Justice When They Are Sitting In Judgment Upon The Great Matters That Come Before Them."
Mind precedes all phenomena, mind matters most, everything is mind-made. If with an impure mind, you speak or act, then suffering follows you as the cartwheel follows the foot of the draft animal. If with a pure mind, you speak or act, then happiness follows you as a shadow that never departs
This new enemy seeks to destroy our freedom and impose its views. We value life; the terrorists ruthlessly destroy it. We value education; the terrorists do not believe women should be educated or should have health care, or should leave their homes. We value the right to speak our minds; for the terrorists, free expression can be grounds for execution. We respect people of all faiths and welcome the free practice of religion; our enemy wants to dictate how to think and how to worship even to their fellow Muslims.
Love and kindness are the very basis of society. If we lose these feelings, society will face tremendous difficulties; the survival of humanity will be endangered.
