Biologically, man has for too long a time been rolling an uninterrupted run of sevens.
-- George R. Stewart

We now to peace and darkness And earth and thee restore Thy creature that thou madest And wilt cast forth no more.
O my people, I disavow all that you associate [with God]. I orient my face with an exclusive orientation towards Him, who created the heavens and the earth and I am not one of the associators.
The Earth is the most powerful and energetic planet.
There have been fewer friends on earth than kings.
We have the ability to provide quality education to every child on earth right now.
