More From Barack Obama

Violence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder. violence may murder the liar, but it doesn’t murder lie; it doesn’t establish truth. violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesn’t murder dishonesty. violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesn’t murder hate. it may increase hate. it is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. this is the ultimate weakness of violence: it multiplies evil and violence in the universe. it doesn’t solve any problems.
Hate Liars Lying
The state always moves slowly and grudgingly towards any purpose that accrues to society's advantage, but moves rapidly and with alacrity towards one that accrues to its own advantage; nor does it ever move towards social purposes on its own initiative, but only under heavy pressure, while its motion towards anti-social purposes is self-sprung.

"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."

I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; i cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight, i can divine it by conscience. and from what i see i am sure it bends towards justice.
Atheist Eye Curves
When our days become dreary with low hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.
Dark Power Night
If your message to the universe is gimme, gimme, gimme, the universe's response back to that kind of mentality is exactly the same. the universe will say right back to you over and over again, gimme, gimme, gimme. if you shift that and you say to the universe, to the world, how may i serve? how may i serve? the universe's response back to you is how may i serve you? how may i serve you?
