To take up arms or not — the debate of a century.
I want peace. I want unity. But do not force my hand. For the hand of a man with righteous indignation is something to be feared.

Do not lay down your life to the lies of emotion or the weight of irrelevant thoughts. Do not let emotions rule your soul.

We are people—mind, body, and soul. Your foul thoughts do not define who you are. It is the actions born of those thoughts that do.

You are not the epitome of your thoughts—you are the observer, the actor who chooses what to manifest.

We cannot let emotions rule us. We must let the observer pause, reflect, and then act.
