“As citizen-activists the world over merge, they can become an irresistible force to create peace and protect the planet. From here will come a new movement to abolish nuclear weapons and all weapons of mass destruction. From here will come the demand for sustainable communities, for new systems of energy, transportation and commerce. From here comes the future rushing in on us. How does one acquire the capacity for active citizenship? The opportunities exist every day...Active citizenship begins with an envisioning of the desired outcome and a conscious application of spiritual principles.” WorldDoeSpiritualOpportunityEnergyForceCommunityPrinciplesMovementPlanetsCitizensProtectDemandWeaponsMassConsciousCapacityDestructionActiveNuclearOutcomesAcquireActivistApplicationSustainabilityNuclear WeaponsCommerceCitizenshipIrresistibleTransportationWeapons Of Mass DestructionMass DestructionRushingAbolishEnvisioningRushing InIrresistible ForceActive Citizenship Author:Dennis Kucinich

“many rules could be made for the giving of orders. Don't preach when you give orders. Don't discuss matters already settled unless you have fresh data. Make your direction so specific that there will be no question whether they have been obeyed or not. Find out how to give directions and yet to allow people opportunity for independent thinking, for initiative. And so on and so on. Order-giving requires just as much study and just as much training as any other skill we wish to acquire.” PeopleThinkingGivingHas BeensMadeMatterOrderOpportunityWishLeadershipStudySkillsTrainingIndependentManagementDataAcquireInitiativeIndependent Thinking Author:Mary Parker Follett
“For extending its sway, partly by force of arms, partly by the voluntary submission of weaker tribes, the community soon acquires wealth and slaves, both of which, by relieving some classes from the perpetual struggle for a bare subsistence, afford them an opportunity of devoting themselves to that disinterested pursuit of knowledge which is the noblest and most powerful instrument to ameliorate the lot of man.” MenOpportunityForceCommunityWealthPowerfulClassStruggleArmsInstrumentsSlavePursuitAcquireMost PowerfulPerpetualTribesSubmissionExtendingPursuit Of KnowledgeDisinterestedSubsistence Author:James G.

“I think that has to do with my awareness that in a sense we all have a certain measure of responsibility to those who have made it possible for us to take advantage of the opportunities. The door is opened only so far. If some of us can squeeze through the crack of that door, then we owe it to those who have made those demands that the door be opened to use the knowledge or the skills that we acquire not only for ourselves but in the service of the community as well. This is something that I guess I decided a long time ago.” IfsThinkingWellsLongMadeUseCertainOpportunityCommunityResponsibilityDoorsAwarenessSkillsDemandLong TimeAdvantageDecidedMade ItAcquireCracksLong Time Ago Author:Angela Davis
