One day we’ll all be mind to mind and heart to heart …”

Macbeth (act 1 scene 7) "I dare do all that i may become a man; Who dares do more is none."

Because doing what is honorable and right is the measure of a man". Not a display of a man's testosterone.

Also Matthew 22: 37-39

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
"This is the first and greatest commandment." "And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."

Because forget everything the bible says. If everyone just did these two things our world would be a near heaven on Earth.

Jesus had a way of simplifying things, LOVE!

One of my favorites is: “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
