“ No man ever made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do little … Every time I sit down to eat , I cast my lot for mercy , and against misery . Every time I sit down to eat , I speak up for the oppressed , and against the oppressor . Every time I sit down to eat , I vote for compassion , and against cruelty ... There is so much suffering in the world , and yet every single day I can – at the very least – remove my personal share of that pain and replace it with peace ; remove my personal share of that cruelty and replace it with justice ; remove my personal share of that callous indifference and replace it with heartfelt compassion ." ~ inspired by Edmund Burke & Bruce Friedrich
