I may not have any design
upon my neighbor as to his
faith, which I must honor
even as I honor my own. For
I regard all the great
religions of the world as
true, at any rate for the
people professing them, as
mine is true for me.
Mahatma Gandhi
Well-being means to be fully born, to become
what one potentially is; it means to have the full
capacity for joy and sadness or, to put it still
differently, to awake from the half slumber the
average man lives in, and to be fully awake.
Erich Fromm
As a man is, so he sees.
William Blake
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the
mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for
example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make
them otherwise.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Optimism is a strategy for making a better
future.
Because unless you believe that the future
can be better you are unlikely to step up
and take responsibility for making it so.
If you assume there is no hope, you
guarantee there will be no hope.
If you assume there is an instinct for
freedom, there are opportunities to change
things, there's a chance you may contribute
to making a better world.
The choice is yours.
Noam Chomsky b-1928
American linguist and political activist
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
concerned citizens can change the world;
indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
We can often do more for other
men by trying to correct our own
faults than by trying to correct theirs.
François de Salignac de La
Mothe Fénelon
