  • "Stand for something, or fall for anything" Unknown
  • "Some say the universe is fundamentally good, the glorious handiwork of an unseen mystery. Some say the material world is inherently corrupt, and the nature of flesh is sin. Some say the universe holds yin and yang in perfect balance, good and bad, in equal measure, orbiting forever. Some say it is all just rocks, meaningless and indifferent. All I know is, when I smile at the universe, the universe smiles back." -Duane E. Sherwood
  • "We are seduced into thinking that the right to choose from a menu is the essence of liberty, but with respect to relevant outcomes the real power, and hence the real freedom, is in the determination of what is on the menu. The powerful are those who set the agenda, not those who choose from the alternatives it offers" -Benjamin
  • "Just as a grasshopper can be trained to jump only as high as a cage’s lid, we can easily become accustomed to the status quo. Focus must be shifted to believe that anything is possible and to take action based on this confidence without being hindered by fear or doubt." -ILBI.org
  • "Hope is not prognostication. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons." -Vaclav Havel
  • If you view the world as a machine, you become a machine" - Mary Evelyn Tucker
  • "The more deeply I search for the roots of the global environmental crisis, the more I am convinced that it is an outer manifestation of an inner crisis that is, for lack of a better word, spiritual...what other word describes the collection of values and assumptions that determine our basic understanding of how we fit into the universe?" - Al Gore
  • "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe." -John Muir
  • “If success or failure of the planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do… How would I be? What would I do?” -Buckminster Fuller
  • "Anyone who believes they are to small to make a difference has never been in bed with a mosquito." -Gandhi
  • "The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm, but because of those who look at it without doing anything" - Albert Einstein
  • "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
