Respect your fellow human being, treat them fairly, disagree with them honestly, enjoy their friendship, explore your thoughts about one another candidly, work together for a common goal and help one another achieve it. No destructive lies. No ridiculous fears. No debilitating anger.--Bill Bradley Start doing the things you think should be done, and start being what you think society should become. Do you believe in free speech? Then speak freely. Do you love the truth? Then tell it. Do you believe in an open society? Then act in the open. Do you believe in a decent and humane society? Then behave decently and humanely.--Adam Michnik These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.--Anthony de Mello We are a nation of communities...a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.--George Herbert Walker Bush (Acceptance speech, Republican National Convention, 1988, acutally written by Peggy Noonan) We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.--Pierre Teihard de Chardin We don't get to know people when they come to us; we must go to them to find out what they are like.--Goethe But although denying that we have a special position in the natural world might seem becomingly modest in the eye of eternity, it might also be used as an excuse for evading our responsibilities. The fact is that no species has ever had such wholesale control over everything on earth, living or dead, as we now have. That lays upon us, whether we like it or not, an awesome responsibility. In our hands now lies not only our own future, but that of all living creatures with whom we share the earth.--David Attenborough (Life on Earth)
