Collective Uplift Quotes

“If there are only two cookies
and one person
takes both of them--
grabs both of them--
that leaves no cookies for anyone else.

But if we make more,
there are more cookies.

Do you make cookies
or just take cookies?
Cookie makers are actually, traditionally,
happier and healthier
than cookie takers.”
― Shellen Lubin

“The more cookies we make,
the easier it is to joyfully accept
that everyone should get cookies.

Are we all the same? No.
Are we all perfectly equal,
or even equivalent?
No.
And yet ...

That's what it's about.
The uplift of everyone.
No exceptions.
No exclusions.
No excuses.
Everyone.”
― Shellen Lubin
