Better
(page 7)
There are things I want to do to be a better human being and a better father.
I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.
If you can reach out and touch and love and be with wildlife, you will forever be changed, and you will want to make the world a better place.
I'm a football fanatic. I love the game of football. I love learning new things, and I love being taught things. So I try to learn as much as I can, and even at a young age, I was really focused on how to be better and trying to learn all the techniques.
There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature — if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty — but mostly suffering!
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
You look at things you enjoy in your life, but much more important is what you can do to make the world a better place.
