A selection of quotations on
good work, peace,
environment, activism and social justice. "Whatever you can do, or dream you can,
begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now." Goethe
"Who you are is exactly who
you need to be,
just step it up a notch" Julia Butterfly
Hill
"A key is just a bunch of
little angles, in the right
combination" JP Warren
"Nobody made a greater mistake
than they who did
nothing because they thought they could only do a
little."
Edmund Burke
"When the forms of an old
culture are dying, the new
culture is created by a few people who are not afraid
to be insecure" Rudolf Bahro
"A very few, as heroes,
patriots, martyrs, reformers in the
great sense, and men, serve the state with their
conscience also,
and so necessarily resist it for the most part, and they
are
commonly treated as enemies by it." Henry
David Thoreau
"The question is not 'can you
make a difference?'
You already do make a difference. It's just a matter
of what kind of difference you want to make,
during your life on this planet." Julia
Butterfly Hill
"Don't confuse fame with
success. Madonna is one;
Helen Keller is the other." Erma Bombeck
"Greatness is not in where we
stand, but in what direction
we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind
and sometimes against it but sail we must, and not
drift, nor lie at anchor." Oliver Wendell
Holmes
"What you spend years building
may be destroyed
overnight. Build anyway." Bishop Buzorewa
"Most of the important things
in the world have been
accomplished by people who have kept on trying
when there seemed to be no hope at all." Dale
Carnegie
"Make no little plans; they
have no magic to stir people's
blood and probably themselves will not be realized.
Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering
that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never
die,
but long after we are gone will be a living thing,
asserting
itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that your
children and grandchildren are going to do things that
would
stagger us." Attributed to Daniel H.
Burnham, 1910.
Slightly modified by Jone Johnson Lewis.
"The future will be what you
contribute to and create."
Greg, Camp Counselor
