“We had to build a city not for businesses or automobiles, but for children and thus for people. Instead of building highways, we restricted car use. We invested in high-quality sidewalks, pedestrian streets, parks, bicycle paths, libraries; we got rid of thousands of cluttering commercial signs and planted trees. All our everyday efforts have one objective: Happiness.” PeopleChildrenUseEffortCitiesQualityPathTreeStreetsCarBuildingEverydayLibraryObjectivesParksHighwaysAutomobileBicycleSidewalkHigh QualityPedestrians Author:Enrique Penalosa

“The modern Gamaliel should teach ethics. Ethics is the science of human duty. Arithmetic tells man how to count his money; ethics how he should acquire it, whether by honesty or fraud. Geography is a map of the world; ethics is a beautiful map of duty. This ethics is not Christianity, it is not even religion; but it is the sister of religion, because the path of duty is in full harmony, as to quality and direction, with the path of God.” MenWorldShouldHumansBeautifulQualityChristianityTeachPathModernHonestyDutyEthicsHarmonyAcquireMapsFraudGeographyArithmetic Author:David Swing

“Man is more than his environment. It is from the innate quality of the Spirit in him, his inner storehouse, that he draws those ideas, his intuitions, which unify his perceptions of the external world instantaneously with a value which is qualitative and not quantitative, and which he embodies in the works of his culture - those achievements which belong not only to one particular time but to all times, and mark the path of his upward progress.” MenWorldIdeasSpiritValuesCultureQualityPathEnvironmentProgressParticularAchievementPerceptionDrawsMarkIntuitionAll TimeInnateQualitative Author:Nilakanta Sri Ram
“Some other people think that awakened consciousness is really about fullness or presence, being completely present for every moment, but these experiences are only one of the dimensions of awakened consciousness. Understanding these different dimensions as facets of awakening can help with the confusion surrounding the different spiritual paths. They're not leading to different places, but rather reflect the luminous and liberated aspects of consciousness itself. These qualities are not far away; in fact, they are right here.” PeopleThinkingDifferentMomentsFactsHelpingSpiritualUnderstandingConsciousnessQualityPathAspectAwakeningConfusionDimensionsFar AwayFullnessAwakenedLiberatedDifferent PlaceLuminousSpiritual PathFacetsDifferent Dimensions Author:Jack Kornfield
