How
are we going to make our livings in a society
becoming increasingly jobless because of hi-tech
and outsourcing? Where will we get the imagination
to recognize that for most of human history the
concept of Jobs didn’t even exist? Work, as distinguished
from Labor, was done to produce needed goods and
services, develop skills and artistry, and nurture
cooperation.
-- Grace Lee Boggs

“Be
careful what you water your dreams with. Water
them with worry and fear and you will produce
weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water
them with optimism and solutions and you will
cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for
ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for
success. Always be on the lookout for ways to
nurture your dream.”
- Lao Tzu

We've got this gift of love, but love is like
a precious plant. You can't just accept it and
leave it in the cupboard or just think it's
going to get on by itself. You've got to keep
watering it. You've got to really look after
it and nurture it.
-- John Lennon

"We
are all invited to work together for peace. We
shall join hands and minds to work for peace through
active nonviolence. We shall help one another,
encourage one another and learn from one another
how to bring peace to our children and to all."
-- Mairead Corrigan

Feelings
of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where
individual differences are appreciated, mistakes
are tolerated, communication is open, and rules
are flexible--the kind of atmosphere that is found
in a nurturing family.
--Virginia Satir

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

A family is one of the most basic models of what
a better world can be like. And yet, like the
world, most families don't feel connected because
they forget or don't recognize the common goal
they share that unites them. The members of a
family are joined by bonds of love; they nurture
and help each other meet all of their physical
and emotional needs. A family that strives to
become a better world family can help each member
to feel more fulfilled and better about themselves
and the world.

“When
I see brokenness, poverty and crime in inner cities,
I also see the enormous potential and readiness
for transformation and rebirth. We are creating
an art form that comes from the heart and reflects
the pain and sorrow of people's lives. It also
expresses joy, beauty, and love. This process
lays the foundation of building a genuine community
in which people are reconnected with their families,
sustained by meaningful work, nurtured by the
care of each other and will together raise and
educate their children. Then we witness social
change in action.”
-- Lily Yeh
