• Food is like a torture device because hiking 47 miles a day is hard enough. And then you're trying to get down 6,000 calories a day.

• Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve
  purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

  Love Is, Opposites, Justice

  I asked for prosperity,

  I asked for courage,
  and God gave me dangers to overcome.

  and God gave me opportunities.
  I received nothing I wanted.
  I received everything I needed.
