"We live in very uncertain times. Humanity and all living things are constantly under threat and there is an urgent need to create the causes for harmony throughout the world. All of the world's major religions and humanitarian traditions teach the ethical values of tolerance, patience, loving-kindness and compassion. As these universal values are embraced and take root in the minds and hearts of more and more people, world peace will become attainable".

The sixth cardinal virtue: Courage (Paulo Coelho)
From the Latin "cor": heart; firmness of spirit, energy before danger; cheerfulness; bravery; perseverance.
"You are the light of the world; a city located on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it gives light to all that are in the house." - Matthew 5:13-15
"A man can obey others for two reasons: for fear of being punished, or for love. Obedience that comes from love of others is a thousand times stronger than fear of punishment." - Mahatma Ghandi (1869–1948).
