“The next time you're looking at a charity, don't ask about the rate of their overhead; ask about the scale of their dreams - their Apple-, Google-, Amazon-scale dreams - how they measure their progress toward those dreams, and what resources they need to make them come true, regardless of what the overhead is.” NeedsDreamNextAsksProgressResourcesCharityRateScalesApplesGoogleNext TimeAmazonOverhead Author:Dan Pallotta
“We also need to be willing to make room in our lives for the impending birth of our dreams. This might mean emptying our life of clutter such as wasted time, energy, resources, or draining relationships. These things can jeopardize our dreams by distracting us at a time when we should be more focused than ever.” NeedsShouldMeanDreamMightEnergyRoomsOur LivesWillingBirthResourcesFocusedOur DreamsClutterWasted TimeDrainingJeopardize Author:Christine Caine
“When the dream in our heart is one that God has planted there, a strange happiness flowers into us. At that moment all of the spiritual resources of the universe are released to help us. Our praying is then at one with the will of God and becomes a channel for the Creator's always joyous, triumphant purposes for us and our world.” WorldHeartMomentsHelpingDreamSpiritualPurposeUniverseStrangeFlowerPrayingResourcesCreatorGods WillThat MomentOur WorldJoyousTriumphant Author:Catherine Marshall

“From being a dream, dams have become a very cynical corrupt enterprise; a way of letting governments lay their hands on huge sums of money; a way of centralizing resources; a way of snatching rivers away from the poor and giving them to the rich. And so in a sense they've become monuments to corruption.” WayGivingDreamHandsGovernmentPoorRichHugeLetting GoResourcesRiversLaysCorruptionEnterpriseCynicalMonumentDams Author:Arundhati Roy
“...As the disparity between the rich and the poor grows, the fight to corner resources is intensifying. To push through their "sweetheart deals," to corporatize the crops we grow, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the dreams we dream, corporate globalization needs an international confederation of loyal, corrupt, authoritarian governments in poorer countries to push through unpopular reforms and quell the mutinies. Corporate Globalization-or shall we call it by its name?-Imperialism-needs a press that pretends to be free. It needs courts that pretend to dispense justice.” NeedsCountryDreamGovernmentFightingNamesGrowsWaterJusticePoorDealsRichAirDrinkResourcesCourtPressesInternationalCornersBreatheReformCorporateLoyalImperialismGlobalizationCropsSweetheartDisparityMutinyConfederationAuthoritarian Government Author:Arundhati Roy
