Though I’ve rarely used them here, I have a big collection of quotes that I frequently go to as an antidote to the everyday news. Now I’m starting to use them here.

I can’t think of a better one to start with than this:

All things are connected.

Whatever befalls the earth,

befalls the sons and daughters of the earth,

We did not weave the web of life;

we are merely strands in it.

Whatever we do to the web,

we do to ourselves.

– Chief Seattle, 1874
