“My career has been very strange. My career is like a heart monitor. I get involved in a good project now and then to keep things going. And then I make things that I work on that I hope are going to be good so I can make a living and keep a roof over the heads of those little monsters I have in my house.” HeartLittlesHas BeensI CanHouseCareersStrangeInvolvedProjectsBe GoodMonstersNow And ThenRoofGet Involved Author:Michael Madsen

“Do not consider any act of service as demeaning. Sweeping the streets, for example, is not below your dignity. Do you not sweep the floor of your homes? Do you not scrub and wash off dirt? When you undertake such tasks, the villagers will also gladly share in them. Why feel ashamed to be good? The ridicule that may be cast on you has been the reward of many saints. It will soon fade away. Muhammad was driven out of Mecca by those who could not appreciate his teachings. Jesus was crucified. But their names resound in the heart of millions.” FeelsHeartMayHas BeensHomeJesusNamesMillionsShareStreetsTeachingExampleAppreciateDignityTasksRewardsSaintCastsBe GoodDrivenAshamedFadesDirtRidiculeMuhammadSweepingFade AwayMeccaDemeaningActs Of Service Author:Sathya Sai Baba

“Goodness has no opposite. Most of us consider goodness as the opposite of the bad or evil and so throughout history in any culture goodness has been considered the other face of that which is brutal. So man has always struggled against evil in order to be good; but goodness can never come into being if there is any form of violence or struggle.” IfsMenHas BeensFacesFormOrderCultureEvilStruggleViolenceGoodnessOppositesBe GoodBrutal Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“In Bogotá, our goal was to make a city for all the children. The measure of a good city is one where a child on a tricycle or bicycle can safely go anywhere. If a city is good for children, it will be good for everybody else. Over the last 80 years we have been making cities much more for cars' mobility than for children’s happiness.” IfsYearsChildrenHas BeensLastsGoalCitiesCarBe GoodBicycleMobilityTricycles Author:Enrique Penalosa
