QUOTES

ACTION
“Use every letter you write, every conversation you have, every meeting you attend, to express your fundamental beliefs and dreams. Affirm to others the vision of the world you want. You are a free, immensely powerful source of life and goodness. Affirm it. Spread it. Radiate it. Think day and night about it and you will see a miracle happen: the greatness of your own life.”

BETTER WORLD
The people are craving for a better world. Let us mobilize them as co-workers for a better world.

DECIDE
Decide to be peaceful.

Decide to dream.

FORGIVENESS
To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.

HISTORY
"If heads of states fail to seize the opportunity of our entry into the third millennium to provide for a better government of planet Earth, history will not forgive them -- if there is a history."

INTERFAITH
The world’s major religions in the end all want the same thing, even though they were born in different places and circumstances on this planet. What the world needs today is a convergence of the different religions in the search for and definition of the cosmic or divine laws which ought to regulate our behavior on this planet.

NO WAR
Dream always of a peaceful, warless, disarmed world.

OVERCONSUMPTION
If the level and amount of consumption and waste of the western ‘rich’ countries ever reaches the poor countries, it will mean the end of humanity. The big world corporations are busy doing it…The production, selling, consumption, accumulation, wastes’ and advertisement explosions in the western ‘rich’ countries and the continued population explosion in the poor countries will turn into major catastrophes.

OPENNESS
What the world needs most is openness: Open hearts Open doors Open eyes Open minds Open ears Open souls.

REINVENT
Something is not yet right and ripe in our human society at the beginning of the 21st century and third millennium: missing is an unprecedented vision, boldness and courage to fashion a new, promising, better future. Our beliefs, society, ways of life, institutions and future goals must be reviewed and reappraised fundamentally from scratch
