'The Elemental Fact'

'The elemental fact, present in our consciousness
every moment of our existence, is: I am life that
wills to live, in the midst of life that wills to
live....
The essence of the humane spirit is: Preserve life,
promote life, help life to achieve its highest destiny.
The essence of Evil is: Destroy life, harm life,
hamper the development of life.' ~ Albert Schweitzer
