Power is poison; and it is a poison, which blinds the eyes of moral insight and lames the will of moral purpose~Henry Adams

Freedom....at dawn and at dusk

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, Known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people just do not happen~Elizabeth Kublar Ros
