“The energy crisis has not yet overwhelmed us, but it will if we do not act quickly. It's a problem that we will not be able to solve in the next few years, and it's likely to get progressively worse through the rest of this century. We must not be selfish or timid if we hope to have a decent world for our children and grandchildren. We simply must balance our demand for energy with our rapidly shrinking resources. By acting now we can control our future instead of letting the future control us.” IfsWorldYearsChildrenProblemAbleNextEnergyActingCenturyBalanceDemandResourcesOur ChildrenCrisisSolveSelfishAlternativesDecentOur FutureGrandchildrenOverwhelmedShrinkingChildren And GrandchildrenBeing SelfishEnergy CrisisActing Now Author:Jimmy Carter
“Our anti-crisis policy is aimed at supporting domestic demand, providing social guarantees for the population, and creating new jobs.

“Your culture demands that you bring some kind of crisis to your work and therefore you can not bring any unity to it. In order to bring crisis into your work you have to bring it to a state of expectancy. In other words you have to leave your work in the state of mind of being a question.” MindKindStatesOrderCultureDemandCrisisUnityState Of MindCan NotExpectancy Author:Milton Resnick
“The gravitation constant is the same always. But the economic constants-these elasticities of demand and supply-depending, as they do, upon human consciousness, are liable to vary.

“Women must see that there can be no liberation for them and no solution to the ecological crisis within a society whose fundamental model of relationships continues to be one of domination. They must unite the demands of the women's movement with those of the ecological movement to envision a radical reshaping of the basic socioeconomic relations and the underlying values of this [modern industrial] society.” ValuesModernMovementDemandModelsSolutionsRelationCrisisFundamentalsRadicalLiberationDominationEcologicalEcological Crisis Book:Encyclopedia of Women and Religion in North America: Women in North American Catholicism Source: Encyclopedia of Women and Religion in North America: Women in North American Catholicism
“What we need to wake people up to now is the crisis in imagination and concern for the greater good. We have no idea what the next ten years, much less the next fifty years, will demand of the coming generation. What we do know is that unless we have a people prepared and eager to meet those crises creatively and compassionately, there is not much hope for this poor old planet of ours.” PeopleKnowsNeedsYearsIdeasNextImaginationPoorGreaterGenerationsPlanetsTenDemandConcernCrisisPreparedNo IdeaFiftyGreater Good Author:Katherine Paterson
“During the 1960s, large groups of people who are normally passive and apathetic began to try to enter the political arena to press their demands....

“In an ironic sense, Karl Marx was right. We are witnessing today a great revolutionary crisis, a crisis where the demands of the economic order are conflicting directly with those of the political order. But the crisis is happening not in the . . . West, but in the home of Marxism-Leninism, the Soviet Union. It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of history by denying human freedom and human dignity to its citizens.” HumansHomeRunningTodayPoliticalOrderFreedomLibertyEconomicCitizensDemandHappeningsDignityCrisisUnionsWestRevolutionaryIronicSovietTidesSoviet UnionMarxismHuman DignityHuman FreedomEconomic OrderMarxism Leninism Author:Ronald Reagan
