That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
An authentically empowered person is humble. This does not mean the false humility of one who stoops to be with those who are below him or her. It is the inclusiveness of one who responds to the beauty of each soul. . . . It is the harmlessness of one who treasures, honours and reveres life in all its forms.
