“We must believe that it is the darkest before the dawn of a beautiful new world. We will see it when we believe it.” ~Saul Alinsky
“How much evil throughout history could have been avoided had people exercised their moral acuity with convictional courage and said to the powers that be, ‘No, I will not. This is wrong, and I don’t care if you fire me, shoot me, pass me over for promotion, or call my mother, I will not participate in this unsavory activity.’ Wouldn’t world history be rewritten if just a few people had actually acted like individual free agents rather than mindless lemmings?” ~ Joel Salatin
“Let the waves of the universe rise and fall as they will. You have nothing to gain or lose. You are the ocean.” ~Ashtavakra Gita
“Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.” ~Masanobu Fukuoka
“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.” ~ Apollo 14 astronaut, Edgar D. Mitchell
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” ~Socrates
“Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” ~Jack Kornfield
“Don’t let the elusive present moment get used up by thoughts that aren’t in the here and now, or spend it consumed with guilt over the past or worry about the future.” ~Wayne Dyer

“Debates arise where Truth is hid from sight. Fruitless debates can go on forever as to what might be found behind the closed door. But one has only to open the door and it will be clear to all, and there will be nothing to debate, since everyone will be able to see the Truth for himself… But who will open the door??? It is already open. All that remains is for the eyes of the soul to be opened to see and gain awareness.” ~Anastasia
“What a privilege to be here on the planet to contribute your unique donation to humankind. Each face in the rainbow of colors that populate our world is precious and special.” ~Morris Dees
