---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The French author Victor Hugo (1802-85) wrote: 'To know how to distinguish the agitation arising from covetousness, from the agitation arising from principles, to fight the one and aid the other, in this lies the genius and the power of great revolutionary leaders.'*

"A true revolution can be achieved only by overcoming human ego and self-interest—in other words, through human revolution."

The New Human Revolution - Vol. 28, Inner Change 14, translation released August, 2023
