Faith is found in solicitude for faith, in an inner care for the wonder that is everywhere.” MenHeartCareFoundBehindsWonderMissingGreedStillnessSolicitude Book:Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity: Essays Source: Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity: Essays
“The actions of my government are not bearable. They devastate our natural resources and deprive our people. The politicians speak piously while practicing greed and divisiveness; they care nothing for the nation. I want to do more than withdraw my support. I want to tar and feather them.” PeopleWantGovernmentCareActionSpeakNationsNaturalSupportPoliticianResourcesGreedFeathersNatural ResourcesBearableDivisiveness Author:Donella Meadows

“Today we celebrate Earth Day. I exhort everyone to see the world through the eyes of God the Creator: the earth is an environment to be safeguarded, a garden to be cultivated. The relationship of mankind with nature must not be conducted with greed, manipulation and exploitation, but it must conserve the divine harmony that exists between creatures and Creation within the logic of respect and care, so it can be put to the service of our brothers, also of future generations.” WorldEyeCareTodayEarthEnvironmentGenerationsMankindCreationDivineBrotherCreaturesGardenLogicHarmonyGreedCreatorCelebrateManipulationExploitationFuture GenerationEarth DayThrough The Eyes Author:Pope Francis
“I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken.” WorldGivingBelieveMomentsCareBeautifulHateDiesIndividualLeftI BelieveSocialGrowsImaginationVisionHorrorGreedInsightEnvyNoblePursuitGentleMundane Book:Bertrand Russell's Best Source: Bertrand Russell's Best
