Nature is an incredible cooperative. When things operate outside of that cooperative, they die off. It's a very simple rule that nature operates under.
There's one fundamental law that all of nature obeys that mankind breaks every day. Now, this is a law that has evolved over billions of years, and the law is this: Nothing in nature takes more than it needs.
I think true success is intrinsic... It's love. It's kindness. It's community.
The one thing that advances a society is not technology or so-called development; it's love - that one principle.
When a child believes he must win to be worthy, when young adults define themselves by what they do and not who they are, it is a kind of slavery a slave master would envy.
What matters is who we are, not who we beat.
If you look at the Bible as a whole, it's redemptive and beautiful, and it's God's love story to mankind.
When you do something in a nonviolent way, people will die and there will be casualties. But you're taking a different point of view that has a power.
Truth can be a matter of perspective, but I also think there's a truth that exists, that there are laws to the universe the way Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King believed.
The truth is nobody can own anything. That was an unheard-of concept among indigenous people. We invented that.
