Quote of the day - Aug 2nd

Who is to judge whether this age will be better than the last when each age has its high and low points, happy and unhappy periods, peaceful and violent times and so forth?
Know that each age has its lessons for mankind to learn from as well as its opportunities for them to gather experiences essential to their self-growth. This being so, there is no point in welcoming one age and condemning another, since each exists for a specific purpose. What is more important is to be able to witness the ending of one age and the beginning of another since that is a most momentous moment of time, which has much to tell and to learn from!
