You Must Approve of Yourself

The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white.
Neither need you do anything but be yourself.
- Lao Tzu
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.
- Mark Twain
One of the natural, but unfortunate, human characteristics is the sense of a need for approval.
It is wonderful to show your appreciation of others and to thank them whenever possible.
It is also pleasing when others show appreciation and thank you.
But making any significant life choices based on whether or not others approve
sets one on a course of emotional destruction.
...
Make your important choices in life based on your values and your long-term objectives
rather than on a need for approval.

Freedom Demands Freedom for All
The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom.
- Lady Bird Johnson
When the rights of any group, no matter how small, no matter how marginal,

and have to ask the question, "How did it ever come to this?"
- Thomas Childers

but to live in a way that respects
and enhances the freedom of others.

and beautiful end of a human being.
- Khalil Gibran
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.

Freedom Demands Freedom for All
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The end does NOT justify the means.
Freedom cannot be gained by sacrificing the freedom of others.
Free speech cannot be gained by limiting the free speech of others.
Human rights cannot be secured by trampling the human rights of others.
Viciousness in others cannot be fought by becoming vicious oneself.
Neither individual nor nation can long survive by meeting hatred with hatred,
injustice with injustice, prejudice with prejudice.

A generous heart, kind speech,
and a life of service and compassion

the sincere "thank you" for all kindnesses received,
