A rabbi asked his students, When is it at dawn that one can tell the light from the darkness? One student replied, When I can tell a goat from a donkey. No, answered the rabbi. Another said, When I can tell a palm tree from a fig. No, answered the rabbi again. Well, then what is the answer? his students pressed him. Only when you look into the face of every man and every woman and see your brother and your sister, said the rabbi. Only then have you seen the light. All else is still darkness.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

Theofilus, both those quotes--the one in your post and the one in your sig--are among my favorites. 
I have been watching the Crufts dog show. As in all dog shows, each dog is judged against the predetermined breed standard. The standard for the Norfolk Terrier (think Toto from the Wizard of Oz) has a quote in it that I think should apply to all of us, too:
"Honorable scars from wear and tear are acceptable."

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to
talk, mad to be saved... the ones who never yawn and say a commonplace
thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy
enough people to make it worth the effort.

The Purpose of the First Amendment is not to protect only comfortable
speech. Such speech needs no protection. It is, rather, the daring, the
profound, the probative, and yes, the offensive, that needs that shield. For
nothing significant, not in art, culture, or even in politics, has ever
arisen from pandering to the whims of majority.

For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course thats Moses, not Jesus. I havent heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.
