Things gain meaning by being used in a shared experience or joint action.
-John Dewey
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb.

Patriotism is, fundamentally, a conviction that a particular country is the best in the world because you were born in it…
Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the gods. So let us celebrate the struggle.
Truth has always prevailed and always will, because it is the bridge between all
the contradictory powers and emotions of this world. Irrespective of the number
of ups and downs that may come, both in the energies and emotions, truth
always stands still.
-Deep Trivedi
