How blessed is he, who leads a country life, Unvexd with anxious cares, and void of strife Who studying peace, and shunning civil rage, Enjoyd his youth, and now enjoys his age All who deserve his love, he makes his own And, to be lovd himself, needs only to be known.

The soul that has come to know God fully no longer desires anything else, nor does it attach itself to anything on the earth; and if you put before it a kingdom, it would not desire it, for the love of God gives such sweetness and joy to the soul that even the life of a king can no longer give it any sweetness.
Silouan the Athonite
We want only peace, to build up our country. World opinion is paying great attention to the threat against Democratic Kampuchea. They are anxious. They fear Kampuchea cannot oppose the Vietnamese. This could hurt the interests of the Southeast Asian countries and all of the world's countries.
Pol Pot
