"...let
us continue to work together to develop and nurture
in future generations a culture of human rights, to
promote freedom, security and peace in all nations."
-- Kofi
Annan
*
Let us be good stewards of the Earth we inherited.
All of us have to share the Earth's fragile ecosystems
and precious resources, and each of us has a role
to play in preserving them. If we are to go on living
together on this earth, we must all be responsible
for it.
~ Kofi
Annan

Changing the structure and rules of the global economy
will require a mass movement based on messages of
compassion, justice, and equality, as well as collaborative
and democratic processes ... If we stay positive,
inclusive, and democratic, we have a truly historic
opportunity to build a global movement for social
justice.
-- Medea
Benjamin
Democracy
needs support and the best support for democracy comes
from other democracies. Democratic nations should
come together in an association designed to help each
other and promote what is a universal value -- democracy.
-- Benazir
Bhutto
Democracy
is the ultimate, positive revolution because it gives
each and every individual the power to control their
lives. And we can work together to create a just, sustainable
world.
-- Bill Blackman

Respect
your fellow human being, treat them fairly, disagree
with them honestly, enjoy their friendship, explore
your thoughts about one another candidly, work together
for a common goal and help one another achieve it.
No destructive lies. No ridiculous fears. No debilitating
anger.
-– Bill
Bradley

Leaders
should be collaborative, modest, and generous
-– Bill
Bradley
We
are working towards a shared vision of the future
for health among all the world's people. A vision
future in which we develop new ways of working together
at global and national level. A vision which has poor
people and poor communities at its centre. And a vision
which focuses action on the causes and consequences
of the health conditions that create and perpetuate
poverty.
-- Gro
Brundtland
*Democracy
is not just a question of having a vote. It consists
of strengthening each citizen’s possibility and capacity
to participate in the deliberations involved in life
in society.
-- Fernando
Cardoso
Teamwork
is the ability to work together toward a common vision.
The ability to direct individual accomplishment toward
organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows
common people to attain uncommon results.
~ Andrew
Carnegie
Success
is achievable without public recognition, and the world
has many unsung heroes. The teacher who inspires you
to pursue your education to your ultimate ability is
a success. The parents who taught you the noblest human
principles are a success. The coach who shows you the
importance of teamwork is a success. The spiritual leader
who instills in you spiritual values and faith is a
success. The relatives, friends, and neighbors with
whom you develop a reciprocal relationship of respect
and support--they, too, are successes. The most menial
workers can properly consider themselves successful
if they perform their best and if the product of their
work is of service to humanity.--Michael DeBakey, M.D.
The
leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me,
never say "I." And that's not because they have trained
themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They
think "we"; they think "team." They understand their
job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility
and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit….
This is what creates trust, what enables you to get
the task done.
-- Peter
F. Drucker
"It
is better to have one person working with you than
three people working for you."
-- Dwight
D. Eisenhower
"Disarmament,
with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing
imperative. Together we must learn how to compose
differences, not with arms, but with intellect and
decent purpose." -- Dwight
D. Eisenhower
No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality
of his rowing.

easier to be ignorant and say I don't know about
the problem. But once you know, once you've seen
it in their eyes, then you have a responsibility
to do something. There is strength in numbers, and

"We
have the opportunity to make violence prevention and
peacemaking a central conversation in our culture
right now. And there couldn't be a more urgent time
to do so. We see daily the tragic impact violence
is having on the planet. I feel heartened that so
many practical solutions will be brought forth through
a Department of Peace. This campaign is showing what
can be done as we begin to invest more in the work
of peacebuilding. There are many programs and practices
that are already proving to be incredibly effective
at reducing such cultural challenges as gang violence,
violence in our schools, in our homes, as well as
conflict around the world. So please join this movement
by contacting your members of Congress and urge them
to support this landmark legislation. And join others
in your community working to make it happen. Together
we can do this."
-- Willie
Nelson

Together we can prevent genocide from happening again.

"...the
American people know that we have got to stand together,
that we're going to grow together, that we're going
to survive together, and that if we start splintering,
we're not going to succeed..."
~ Sen.
Bernie Sanders
The
ideal of "a family" is one of the most basic models
of what a better world can be like. In a perfect family,
the members are joined by bonds of love; they are
a team, helping each other meet all of their physical
and emotional needs. Of course no family is perfect,
but a family that strives together to become a "family
for a better world" can help each member to feel more
fulfilled and better about themselves and the world.
They also provide a real-life example of how the human
family can work together to create a better world.

"Human
history has been recorded as a succession of wars
and changing empires. But a ray of hope has been
carried forth throughout the ages by dreamers who
have envisioned a more peaceful, just and sustainable
world. The Magna Carta, the US Constitution and
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights were quantum
leaps forward in our collective quest for a better
world. We still have far to go, but we can help
create that better world countless dreamers have
imagined, wished for and endeavored to make come
true. Every moment has brought us to this moment.
We are the ones we've been waiting for to manifest
our shared peacetopian dream."
-- Robert
Alan Silverstein
Together
we are helping create a more peaceful, just and sustainable
world,
one act of compassion at a time... Every act of compassion

Our
goal is to create a world where citizens, communities, corporations
and nations work together in a responsible way. Where decisions
are not based on how much things cost or how much profit
can be made, but on the value that it adds to the lives
of our citizens and employees, and its impact on the environment.
This sustainable life begins when we make our own lives
more sustainable. --
Robert
Alan Silverstein
If
it were easier to choose to do the right thing, wouldn't
people be more likely to do it? Maybe peace on earth
is an impossible dream, but if we changed the rules,
this world could be so much better. So, why do we
allow an unfair system to rule us by fear? Why don't
we work together to create a better world and bring
hope!
