QUOTES
In order for
humanity to survive in the twenty-first century and beyond, we
must nurture rather than repress children’s natural curiosity.
We must encourage them to be curious, instead of fearful, toward
other cultures.
"The
peaceful revolution is a revolution of mind, heart, and spirit.
But it is also a scientific revolution… The peaceful revolution
will create a paradigm shift that changes how we see war, peace,
our responsibility to the planet, our kinship with each other,
and what it means to be human.”
The right
tools for solving disputes within our community are precision
instruments such as reason, communication, empathy, curiosity,
and understanding. They are also the right tools for building
a global civilization of peace and prosperity.
"When people
in a democracy are not educated in the art of living --- to strengthen
their conscience, compassion, and ability to question and think
critically --- they can be easily manipulated by fear and propaganda.
A democracy is only as wise as its citizens, and a democracy of
ignorant citizens can be as dangerous as a dictatorship."
