"Sometimes wisdom is knowing when to keep quiet. At the best of times, my teachers didn’t give advice. Their advice was how they lived their lives."
- Edward Jardine
I do not presume to teach men how to be men. I point them to learning and growing men whose teachings and lives I consider worthwhile. These are some of the individual men I have had the privilege of experiencing, appreciating, learning from, listening to, and whose words I recommend.

Peace
"If we ourselves remain always angry and then sing world peace, it has little meaning. So you see, first our individual self must learn peace. This we can practice. Then we can teach the rest of the world."

Non Violence
"Non-violence is not a cloistered virtue. It is no impossible deal...
It is capable of being practiced by the millions...
It is the soul force within every human being...
The path of true non-violence requires much more courage than violence."
