	War
		Power and national security, realists claim, motivate states during wartime and thus moral appeals are strictly wishful thinking.
		Realists emphasize power and security issues, the need for a state to maximize its expected self-interest and, above all, their view of the international arena as a kind of anarchy, in which the will to power enjoys primacy.
		Though one cannot exactly disprove this pacifist proposition—since it is a counter-factual thesis—there are powerful reasons to agree with John Rawls that such is “an unworldly view” to hold.

	The Shamballa School, international residential spiritual school
		Agni is said in the Vedas to issue seven tongues of flame – that is, to be the source of the seven rays or elements that are the foundational essences of relative existence.
		Agni is the primordial fire of spiritual evolution, expressing both the power of transformation and awakening, as well as the essence of enlightenment itself.
		‘Self power’ is the capacity of the individual to consciously influence his or her own evolution (spiritual practice), and ‘other power’ is grace.

	Justus Lipsius [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		If one has concerns about such a concentration of power, the proper way to reduce them is to educate the holder of power, to develop his virtue and prudence, and to remind him that he holds power in order to secure peace, not to create terror.
		This no doubt fictional conversation is set within the context of a visit to Langius by Lipsius during the course of a trip to Vienna that Lipsius had actually undertaken in 1572.
		While some distance from his troubled homeland, the dialogue's character Lipsius reflects upon the nature of public evils (mala publica) and is guided by the older and wiser Langius into whose mouth the positive content of the dialogue is placed.

	Infidel Quotes
		All they need to do is to remind their followers constantly of their mortality and to convince them that the afterlife itself is under the personal management of the particular gods they are promoting.
		In their struggle for the ethical good, teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal God, that is, give up that source of fear and hope which in the past placed such vast power in the hands of priests….
		The problem is that once the untrained mind has made a formal commitment to a religious philosophy — and it does not matter whether that philosophy is generally reasonable and high-minded or utterly bizarre and irrational — the powers of reason are suprisingly ineffective in changing the believer's mind.
