“We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation. Fear and anger can make us vindictive and abusive, unjust and unfair, until we all suffer from the absence of mercy and we condemn ourselves as much as we victimize others. The closer we get to mass incarceration and extreme levels of punishment, the more I believe it's necessary to recognize that we all need mercy, we all need justice, and-perhaps-we all need some measure of unmerited grace.” PeopleNeedsBelieveStatesSufferingI BelieveNationsCommunityJusticeLevelsCompassionGraceMassMercyExtremesAbsencePunishmentUnfairUnjustDecencyAbusiveIncarcerationVindictiveMass IncarcerationMistreated Author:Bryan Stevenson
“I believe from my many experiences that the spirit world is more real, more solid, than this earth in which we live. In truth, ours is a world of illusion.

“...after my first feeling of revulsion had passed, I spent three of the most entertaining and instructive weeks of my life studying the fascinating molds which appeared one by one on the slowly disintegrating mass of horse-dung. Microscopic molds are both very beautiful and absorbingly interesting. The rapid growth of their spores, the way they live on each other, the manner in which the different forms come and go, is so amazing and varied that I believe a man could spend his life and not exhaust the forms or problems contained in one plate of manure.” MenWayFirstsBelieveDifferentFeelingsProblemBeautifulFormThreeI BelieveGrowthInterestingStudyWeekHe ManMassHorseFascinatingBiologyEntertainingPlatesRapidsComes And GoesMoldVery BeautifulManureRevulsionRapid Growth Author:David Fairchild
“Perhaps one of the most meaningful ways to sense the impact of the environmental crisis is to confront the question which is always asked about Lake Erie: how can we restore it? I believe the only valid answer is that no one knows. For it should be clear that even if overnight all of the pollutants now pouring into Lake Erie were stopped, there would still remain the problem of the accumulated mass of pollutants in the lake bottom.” IfsKnowsWayShouldBelieveStillsProblemI BelieveWaterAnswersClearMassCrisisImpactEnvironmentalBottomMeaningfulLakesPouringMost MeaningfulEnvironmental CrisisLake Erie Author:Barry Commoner
“When enough electrons within an atom get aligned and a critical mass is reached - as soon as you hit that hundredth monkey, as soon as you hit the one - you have phase transition, and all the rest of the electrons automatically make the change. My mission - what I teach and what I believe in - is that you just get yourself aligned with God-consciousness. If we teach enough people to do it - if enough of us ultimately get there - then we'll start electing leaders with this kind of consciousness. We'll start seeing kinds of shifts taking their place.” PeopleIfsBelieveKindEnoughI BelieveConsciousnessLeaderTeachSeeingMassI Believe InMissionsCriticalTransitionAtomsPhasesMonkeysElectronsCritical Mass Author:Wayne Dyer
