...let us remember the large numbers of citizens
who, day in and day out, through acts of volunteerism
large and small, bring hope to so many of the
world's disadvantaged. Let us ensure that this
wonderful resource, available in abundance to
every nation, is recognized and supported as it
works towards a more prosperous and peaceful world.
-- Kofi Annan

"We
need to meditate on what is peaceful. Once we
have 'filled up' in this way, we once again have
an abundance of love to send out into the world."
~ Jean Shinoda Bolen

Many people think that hunger is unavoidable in
any society, even a society that is blessed with
great abundance. That is not true. The European
community does not have widespread hunger. America,
which leads the world in so many ways, can end childhood
hunger within its borders.
-- Pierce Brosnan
Then
all that has divided us will merge
And then compassion will be wedded to power
And then softness will come to a world that is harsh
and unkind
And then both men and women will be gentle
And then both women and men will be strong
And then no person will be subject to another's will
And then all will be rich and free and varied
And then the greed of some will give way to the needs
of many
And then all will share equally in the earth's abundance
And then all will care for the sick and the weak and
the old
And then all will nourish the young
And then all will cherish life's creatures
And then all will live in harmony with each other and
with the earth
And everywhere will be called Eden, once again.
-- Judy Chicago

The universe operates through dynamic exchange…
giving and receiving are different aspects of
the flow of energy in the universe, and in our
willingness to give that which we seek, we keep
the abundance of the universe circulating in our
lives.

"People
with a scarcity mentality tend to see everything
in terms of win-lose. There is only so much; and
if someone else has it, that means there will be
less for me. The more principle-centered we become,
the more we develop an abundance mentality, the
more we are genuinely happy for the successes, well-being,
achievements, recognition, and good fortune of other
people. We believe their success adds to...rather
than detracts from...our lives.” - Stephen R. Covey

We
plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives,
so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy
and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest
for all.
-- Dorothy
Day
Doing
what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance
in your life.
-- Wayne Dyer
Abundance
is not something we acquire. It is something we tune
into.
-- Wayne Dyer
Our
affluent society contains those of talent and insight
who are driven to prefer poverty,
to choose it, rather than submit to the desolation of
an empty abundance.
-- Michael Harrington
In
the past our glorious visions of the future - heaven,
paradise, nirvana - were thought to happen after
death. The newer thought is that we do not have
to die to get there. We are not speaking here of
life after death in some mythical heaven, but life
more abundant in real time in history. We are speaking
of the next stage of our social evolution.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard
Life
in abundance comes only through great love.
-- Elbert Hubbard
Our great country is rich and abundant in so many ways.
It is totally unacceptable to me that we have children
and families going hungry!
-- Diane Ladd
"In
the midst of living life; in the midst of chaos;
in the midst of endless lists of to-do's and people
to take care of and little pieces of you going
outward, I challenge you to shift your subconscious,
to shift your attitude, and find three things
to feel grateful for. Look around you with your
senses. What three small things can you feel grateful
for? Think about it and breathe it in and say:
'I am grateful. I am grateful. I am grateful for
all the abundance around me and in me.' What do
you picture when you say these words? Imagine
it as if it is true. I am grateful for all the
abundance around me and in me."

Riches
are not from abundance of worldly goods, but from a
contented mind.

When
you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears

The
test of our progress is not whether we add more
to the abundance of those who have enough; it
is whether we provide enough for those who have
too little."
-- Franklin
Delano Roosevelt
“Talent
is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not

What
is called genius

Thoreau
Let's share our abundance and make our country stronger.
We can encourage programs that collect and distribute
excess prepared food to local organizations that are
helping the hungry in our own communities. We can also
support programs that supply commodities to food banks.
It's all part of committing our country's wealth and
resources to end childhood hunger.
-- John Travolta
