would always encourage people of any age not to
be so quick to follow other people's truths but
to search and follow your own moral code and live
by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave.

A spiritual sensibility encourages us to see ourselves
as part of the fundamental unity of all being.
If the thrust of the market ethos has been to
foster a competitive individualism, a major thrust
of many traditional religious and spiritual sensibilities
has been to help us see our connection with all
other human beings.
-- Michael Lerner

In
my mind, the purpose of education is to enable
human beings to develop to their full potential,
intellectually and spiritually. That means that
students have to be empowered to pursue self-knowledge
and the skills that will help them be of service
to their fellow human beings. Education should
encourage people to develop their curiosity about
life; above all, it should not trivialize either
the students or their lives.
-- Michael Nagler

"...the
only true and lasting security is the one that
concerns itself with the protection of people,
their welfare no less than their opportunity to
lead healthy and productive lives in an environment
that encourages them to attain their full potential
as human beings. "
-- Wally N'Dow
Children
Learn What They Live -
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to
condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to
fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be
shy.
If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to
feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to
be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement he learns
confidence
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
He a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have
faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like
himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
he learns to find love in the world.
-- Dorothy Law Neite

Virtues
are acquired through endeavor,
Which rests wholly upon yourself.
So, to praise others for their virtues
Can but encourage one's own efforts.
-- Thomas Paine.

“Flatter
me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and
I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive
you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you.
Love me and I may be forced to love you.”
- Norman Vincent Peale

“It's
better to light a candle then to curse the darkness.”

of the criteria for national leadership should
therefore be a talent for understanding, encouraging,
and making constructive use of vigorous criticism.

Lovers of freedom, lovers of social justice, disarmers,
peacekeepers, civil disobeyers, democrats, civil-rights
activists, and defenders of the environment are
legions in a single multiform cause, and they will
gain strength by knowing it, taking encouragement
from it, and when appropriate and opportune, pooling
their efforts.
-- Jonathan Schell

In
everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire
goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter
with another human being. We should all be thankful
for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
-- Albert Schweitzer

To
withhold deserved praise lest it should make its
object conceited is as dishonest as to withhold
payment of a just debt lest your creditor should
spend the money badly.

Shaw

If
only we could have a wealth of literature and
music and art that would inspire and encourage
us and show us how wonderful peace on earth could
be, perhaps we would be more excited about working
together to create a better world. If you are
a writer, artist, musician or filmmaker, and you
dream of peace on earth, please use your creativity
to help create a better world.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

Keep
away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great
make you feel that you, too, can become great.
