QUOTES

Hey you,
Open your heart, it's not so strange
You've got to change this time

“Jesus' message was to love your neighbour as yourself, and there are people in need. I hope that people got that message."

"I want to be like Gandhi and Martin Luther King and John Lennon - but I want to stay alive."

"That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out. I know these things for sure."

"I think you can be defiant and rebellious and still be strong and positive."

"I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams."

"Never forget to dream."

Humiliating someone for gain will haunt you

"family is everything. Family comes first. It's not what I expected it to be, but nothing ever is."

"I fear the future I wish for my children is at risk, so I'm taking action. Please join me. Our greatest risk is not terrorism, and it's not Iraq or the "Axis of Evil". Our greatest risk is a lack of leadership, a lack of honesty and a complete lack of consciousness. Unfortunately our current government cannot see the big picture. They think too small. They suffer from the “what's in it for me?” syndrome. The simple truth is that the current administration has squandered incredible opportunities to bring the world together, to promote peace in regions that have only known war, to encourage health in places that are ravaged with disease, to make us more secure by living up to our principles at home and abroad. The simple truth is that the policies of our current administration do not reflect what is great about America."

"I am not anti-Bush. I am not pro-Iraq. I am pro-peace.
