I don’t just want to do the right thing. I want to WANT to do the right thing.
The universe is a unity. Every material thing is in all things. All things come from all, and all is in all things.
What we don't often realize is that the rebirth and collapse of grand things do not begin with grand things at all, like the things we see, but with the small, like the things we are - in the things we do - in the things we say.
We kept our heads down and did our jobs. We controlled the only thing we could, which was the show. We did the thing. Because remember, the talking about the thing isn't the thing. The doing of the thing is the thing.
Things aren't different. Things are things.

A beautiful thing is never perfect.
In the world all things are two and two.
There are three kinds of people; those that make things happen, those that watch things happen and those who don't know what's happening.

Doing the right thing has power.
