Never be in a hurry;
do everything quietly
and in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your inner
peace for anything
whatsoever, even if your
whole world seems upset.
What is anything in life
compared to peace of soul?
Francis de Sales
Cooper Hawk
When a leader disregards
constitutional order, they
give up legitimacy and
the people are justified in
treating them as a
thief and a robber.
Whosoever in authority
exceeds the power given
him by the law and makes
use of the force he has
under his command…ceases in
that to be a magistrate; and,
acting without authority, may be opposed, as any other man,
who by force invades the
right of another.”
John Locke 1690 *
Second Treatise on Government
Wong Ho Lane @ Young St. Honolulu
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat,
or a ladder.
Help someone's
soul heal.
Walk out of
your house
like a shepherd.
Rumi
Appreciate every moment
because this moment
is your precious life.
An appreciation of what
you have brings the
ultimate abundance
in your life.
Debasish Mridha
Regardless of how
you feel inside, always try
to look like a winner.
Even if you are behind,
a sustained look of control
and confidence can give you
a mental edge that
results in victory.
Diane Arbus

Though she be but little,

*John Locke is considered a crucial figure in the development of democracy because his political philosophy, particularly his ideas about natural rights, the social contract, and the right to revolution, laid the foundation for the concept of government based on the consent of the governed, significantly influencing the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution, where principles like separation of powers and individual liberties are deeply rooted in his theories.

John Locke had admirable ideals, and what a shame to see the attempt to destroy the result of ideals, and ideals themselves.
Kindness is infectious. Be kind Be good.
Thank you both for these comments. I know I will ponder. Pleasure to see you each Aloha
Thanks for the civics lesson, Cloudia. Does Pixie read John Locke, too?
