-- Kofi Annan

The future of peace and prosperity that we seek for all the world's peoples needs a foundation of tolerance, security, equality and justice. That foundation is the family. It is only by protecting families, from famine as well as from fragmentation, that they can prosper and contribute to the family of nations that is the United Nations.
-– Kofi Annan

Education is an ornament in prosperity and refuge in adversity.
-- Aristotle

Our society is only as healthy as our most vulnerable citizens. It is unconscionable that the weakest links in our country are our hungry children.

"...perhaps that is what ultimately unites us as a world: the fact that, no matter how prosperous a nation, how developed, all share the plight and embarrassment of having so many suffering children.

* When people, land, and community are as one, all three members prosper; when they relate not as members but as competing interests, all three are exploited. By consulting Nature as the source and measure of that membership, The Land Institute seeks to develop an agriculture that will save soil from being lost or poisoned while promoting a community life at once prosperous and enduring."
-- Wes Jackson

Relationships are like Rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall.

This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.
-- Helen Keller

-- George Bernard Shaw

* It is not great wealth in a few individuals that proves a country is prosperous, but great general wealth evenly distributed among the people. . .
