Words of value...

To present an important idea simply and clearly is a great gift...and something to be shared.  Among the worthy words I heard this week are these two quotes presented in videos at the Lantos Award ceremony on Tuesday.

The aim of society must be the compassionate betterment of all human beings.

                                                        The Dalai Lama

We must remember that the veneer of civilization is paper thin.  We are its guardians...and we must never rest.
