    Artika R. Tyner
    “What is your hands to make a difference in the world?”
    Artika R. Tyner, The Lawyer as Leader: How to Plant People and Grow Justice

  • #2
    Howard Zinn
    “Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.”
    Howard Zinn

    Steven Magee
    “The USA government sure do like their propaganda feeds! Unfortunately, too much propaganda does create the scenario where no one believes anything that they say. It's just like Pinocchio.”
    Steven Magee

    Teal Swan
    “In the beginning, spirituality is a seeking practice. We seek peace, we seek joy, we seek wisdom, we seek awakening, we seek self betterment. Farther down the road, the realization comes that we already are the peace and joy and wisdom and awakening and self betterment that we seek. At that point, spirituality becomes what it is… Not a practice of seeking anything. But a practice of uncovering what was there inside you all along. You already are the light at the end of the tunnel. You already are the wisdom, you already are the peace, you already are the joy. You already are awakened, you already are perfect. All that’s left is for you to discover that you are.”
    Teal Swan

  • #5
    Italo Calvino
    “I have finally come around to asking myself what is expressed in that sand of written words which I have strung together throughout my life, that sand that seems to me to be so far away from the beaches and desert of living. Perhaps by staring at the sand as sand, words as words, we can come close to understanding how and to what extent the world that has been ground down and eroded can still find in sand a foundation and model.”
    Italo Calvino, Collezione di sabbia

  • #6
    Sanober  Khan
    “There is a moon,
    that rests in the quiet corners
    of a lover’s lips.”
    Sanober Khan, A Thousand Flamingos

  • #7
    Irina Serban
    “The moon was reigning over their world, glowing its full splendor to all those willing to look up.”
    Irina Serban, Full Circle

  • #8
    Mehmet Murat ildan
    “Sometimes the sky looks so beautiful and at the same time earth also looks so beautiful and finally we look so beautiful as well! By just looking at the nature you become the nature itself! Look at the beautiful full moon, you become a beautiful full moon!”
    Mehmet Murat ildan

  • #9
    Julie   Johnson
    “Being heartbroken doesn’t mean you stop feeling. Just the opposite — it means you feel it all more.
    With your heart in fragments, every sensation is sharper, every emotion more acute. Your feelings are enhanced, like a blind man with an impeccable sense of smell, or a deaf woman whose eyes can perceive things a normal person would never recognize.
    The brokenhearted are the best empaths of all.”
    Julie Johnson, Erasing Faith

  • #10
    Obiora Embry
    “Why is it deemed justifiable and appropriate for cops/police
    officers to kill other cops (friendly–fire) and citizens?
    Why do cops kill?
    Are they not taught to maim or slow down someone running
    or reaching for a weapon?
    If not, why not?
    Why do cops kill first and ask questions last?


    Why are police officers being military trained?
    What can we as citizens, taxpayers, and voters do to stop these
    killings and beatings of unarmed people?
    Why do we let this continue?
    How many more must die or get beat up before we realize
    something is wrong and needs to be changed?
    Will you, a friend, or a family member have to be killed or beaten
    by a cop before we realize that things have to change?


    Who's here to protect us from the cops when they decide to use
    excessive force, shoot multiple shells, and/or murder us?”
    Obiora Embry, Expanding Horizons Through Creative Expressions

  • #11
    “It's simple. Mankind is a sorry excuse for living creatures. They are cruel, cold, merciless, selfish, heartless, wasteful, greedy, and destructive. But the list goes on. I can spend all night telling you what’s wrong with them, but why bother?”
    Charles Lee, The Way To Dawn

  • #12
    Michael Bassey Johnson
    “Stay away from lazy parasites, who perch on you just to satisfy their needs, they do not come to alleviate your burdens, hence, their mission is to distract, detract and extract, and make you live in abject poverty.”
    Michael Bassey Johnson

  • #13
    “A woman's body is a sacred temple. A work of art, and a life-giving vessel. And once she becomes a mother, her body serves as a medicine cabinet for her infant. From her milk she can nourish and heal her own child from a variety of ailments. And though women come in a wide assortment as vast as the many different types of flowers and birds, she is to reflect divinity in her essence, care and wisdom. God created a woman's heart to be a river of love, not to become a killing machine.”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

  • #14
    Peace Gypsy
    “Mother Earth, one of my absolute favorite places......where the sounds, the energy, the beauty and the Life pounds into your every fiber of being, letting you Know that you are alive. I will always respect and honor this gift of creation that we call our home.”
    Peace Gypsy, Souls Deep : From a Professional Dreamer

  • #15
    Aristotle
    “No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.”
    Aristotle

  • #16
    “I drop kindness pebbles in still water everyday, and I watch the effect they have on other people’s lives.

    My favorite kindness pebbles are compliments.

    Drop a compliment and watch the ripple affect that it has in your life.”
    JohnA Passaro, Again

  • #17
    “And when you reach the place where this understanding overtakes you; that there is no one in the world that will ever love you with the force and power you can love yourself with. That no saviour in the form of a spouse or best friend is coming to make you complete and that you are your own saviour, your own best friend and perhaps the only saviour and best friend you will have, you will soar on wings of eagles and amazing things will happen.”
    Adunni Badmus

  • #18
    “When two brothers are busy fighting, an evil man can easily attack and rob their poor mother. Mankind should always stay united, standing shoulder to shoulder so evil can never cheat and divide them.”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

  • #19
    “Our evolution depends on our memory. If we keep forgetting the mistakes of the past, only to keep repeating them, then we will never change. And if we keep recycling through the exact same kind of leaders— the kind who do not propel us forward, but only hold us back—then perhaps what we really need now is a completely different style of leadership altogether. We need heart-driven leaders, not strictly mind-driven ones. We need compassionate humanitarians, not greedy businessmen. Peacemakers, not war instigators. We need unity, not division. Angels, not devils.”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

  • #20
    “Let us dedicate this new era to mothers around the world, and also to the mother of all mothers -- Mother Earth. It is up to us to keep building bridges to bring the world closer together, and not destroy them to divide us further apart. We can pave new roads towards peace simply by understanding other cultures. This can be achieved through traveling, learning other languages, and interacting with others from outside our borders. Only then will one truly discover how we are more alike than different. Never allow language or cultural traditions to come between brothers and sisters. The same way one brother may not like his sister's choice of fashion or hairstyle, he will never hate her for her personal style or music preference. If you judge a man, judge only his heart. And if you should do so, make sure you use the truth in your conscience when weighing one's character. Do not measure anybody strictly based on the bad you see in them and ignore all the good.”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

  • #21
    Luther Standing Bear
    “Kinship with all creatures of the earth, sky, and water was a real and active principle. In the animal and bird world there existed a brotherly feeling that kept us safe among them... The animals had rights - the right of man's protection, the right to live, the right to multiply, the right to freedom, and the right to man's indebtedness. This concept of life and its relations filled us with the joy and mystery of living; it gave us reverence for all life; it made a place for all things in the scheme of existence with equal importance to all.”
    Chief Luther Standing Bear

  • #22
    Luther Standing Bear
    “Wherever forests have not been mowed down, wherever the animal is recessed in their quiet protection, wherever the earth is not bereft of four-footed life - that to the white man is an 'unbroken wilderness.'

    But for us there was no wilderness, nature was not dangerous but hospitable, not forbidding but friendly. Our faith sought the harmony of man with his surroundings; the other sought the dominance of surroundings.

    For us, the world was full of beauty; for the other, it was a place to be endured until he went to another world.

    But we were wise. We knew that man's heart, away from nature, becomes hard.”
    Chief Luther Standing Bear

  • #23
    “There is a power in nature that man has ignored. And the result has been heartache and pain.”
    Anasazi Foundation, The Seven Paths: Changing One's Way of Walking in the World

  • #24
    “Unfortunately, modern man has become so focused on harnessing nature's resources that he has forgotten how to learn from them. If you let them, however, the elements of nature will teach you as they have taught me.”
    Anasazi Foundation, The Seven Paths: Changing One's Way of Walking in the World

  • #25
    “Whether we walk among our people or alone among the hills, happiness in life's walking depends on how we feel about others in our hearts.”
    Anasazi Foundation, The Seven Paths: Changing One's Way of Walking in the World

  • #26
    Laurence Overmire
    “Love is active, not passive. It is our love for one another, for Mother Earth, for our fellow creatures that compels us to act on their behalf.”
    Laurence Overmire, The One Idea That Saves The World: A Call to Conscience and A Call to Action

  • #27
    Amit Ray
    “Earth rejoices our words, breathing and peaceful steps. Let every breath, every word and every step make the mother earth proud of us.”
    Amit Ray

  • #28
    Taj Mahal
    “We return to you, O earth, the things which you have given us willingly and most graciously; with our hearts, hands and minds, in the best way we know how.”
    Taj Mahal

  • #29
    Avijeet Das
    “The Women of Our World are like Mother Earth. They don't just give life to the next generation but also to Hope. The Women of Our World are to be loved, respected and protected.”
    Avijeet Das
