I will never forget that the only reason i'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. stood up when it was hard. stood up when it wasn't popular. and because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. and then a few thousand stood up. and then a few million stood up. and standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.

And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

A definition is nothing else but an explication of the meaning of a word, by words whose meaning is already known. hence it is evident that every word cannot be defined; for the definition must consist of words; and there could be no definition, if there were not words previously understood without definition.

Lenten practices of giving up pleasures are good reminders that the purpose of life is not pleasure. the purpose of life is to attain to perfect life, all truth and undying ecstatic love - which is the definition of god. in pursuing that goal we find happiness. pleasure is not the purpose of anything; pleasure is a by-product resulting from doing something that is good. one of the best ways to get happiness and pleasure out of life is to ask ourselves, 'how can i please god?' and, 'why am i not better?' it is the pleasure-seeker who is bored, for all pleasures diminish with repetition.
Giving Up Practice Perfect

How you staff, particularly the chief of staff, the national security adviser, your white house counsel, how you set up a process in the system to surface information and generate options for a president, understanding that ultimately the president is going to be the final decision-maker. that's something that has to be attended to right away.
