A quote LuckyCharms posted earlier this morning reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from Kurt Vonnegut.

"You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society." — Kurt Vonnegut

It helps keep me going in these perilous times.

1. I'll add the great philosopher Mr. Rogers: "Look for the helpers."

[MiHale]

2. We need to have moral reflection for ourselves...

as the moral fabric of the country is seemingly unraveling. Catch the threads and weave them back together.

[nuxvomica]

3. I call them heroes

The singular duty of the hero, which myth and literature tell us we should strive to be, is to transform the world into a safer place for the innocent.

4. "Once in a while you get shown the light in he strangest of places if you look at it right".

[Botany]

5. Frank Burns (Larry Linville) "It is nice to be nice to the nice."

[Grim Chieftain]

6. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this, generalbetrayus

In these dark, dark times I wish DU had a forum for uplifting quotes like this. Earlier this morning, I was thinking of taking a break from DU because the news is so depressing. Sometimes it is just too much. We need hope and inspiration now more than ever.

Thanks also to LuckyCharms for the Muhammad Ali quote. It really helped.

Much love to this wonderful DU family. We are all in this together, and together we will get through it.
