Quotes

"Nations spend more than half their revenues to kill each other's citizens".

Bertrand Russell, 1957.

“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the press of the human mind. As that becomes more developed more enlightened and new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinion change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors".

Thomas Jefferson

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing".

Edmond Burke

"The world needs open hearts and open minds, and it is not through rigid systems, whether old or new, that these can be derived."

Bertrand Russell 1957, Why I am not a Christian.

We must create who we want to be rather than merely imitate whowe have recently been"....."We must fundamentally change the way we think"...."We need a nonviolent assumption of the power of the soul to heal the pain of a world that has forgotten it has one."

Marianne Williamson 1997
The Healing of America
