"The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace.
Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable
path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest
your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you
encounter. One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace.
Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train."
- The Art of Peace by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969)

"Today in America the best paid one-fifth of the population receives about one half of all
national income, while the bottom one-fifth receives less than 4 per cent. The distribution
of wealth in America is even more unfair. Here, the top one-half per cent of all property
owners control over 25% of all wealth; while the top 5% sit on nearly 70% of wealth and
property. What chance does the average person have for exercising his or her democratic
rights under these conditions!"
