“The world’s biggest religion is capitalism:
money is our god, greed is our priest,
banks are our temples,
and shopping is how we express our worship.

The world’s biggest cartel is politics:
democracy is our god, elections are our priest,
voting booths are our temples,
and ballots are how we express our worship.

The world’s biggest idol is stardom:
celebrities are our gods, fame is our priest,
tabloids are our temples,
and applause is how we express our worship.

The world’s biggest faith is hedonism:
sex is our god, lust is our priest,
brothels are our temples,
and fornication is how we express our worship.”

“The Palestinians must no longer define themselves by what they resist (the Ottomans, the British Mandate, the Zionists, etc.) but instead by what they want to create. And they need to get real with a very basic question: What is the Palestinian national ambition really about? Is it about having a state and living side by side with Israel? Or is it about wiping Israel off the map and creating a Sharia state?”

“There is no gem like truth,
no wealth like knowledge,
no treasure like understanding,
and no jewel like love.

There is no gem like gratitude,
no wealth like humility,
no treasure like patience,
and no jewel like virtue,

There is no gem like peace,
no wealth like contentment,
no treasure like faith,
and no jewel like joy.

There is no gem like time,
no wealth like experience,
no treasure like reality,
and no jewel like life.

There is no gem like prudence,
no wealth like health,
no treasure like prayer,
and no jewel like meditation.

There is no gem like nature,
no wealth like harmony,
no treasure like Heaven,
and no jewel like God.”
Matshona Dhliwayo
