“Other centuries had their driving forces. What will ours have been when men look far back to it one day? Maybe it won't be the American Century, after all. Or the Russian Century or the Atomic Century. Wouldn't it be wonderful, Phil, if it turned out to be everybody's century, when people all over the world--free people--found a way to live together? I'd like to be around to see some of that, even the beginning.” PeopleIfsMenWorldWayLooksHas BeensTogetherFoundForcePeaceWonderfulCenturyOne DayDrivingWay To LiveDriving Force Author:Moss Hart
“After a quarter of a century of personal experience and professional observation, I have come to understand that peace of mind is the true goal of the considered life. I know now that the sum of all other possessions does not necessarily add up to peace of mind; on the other hand, I have seen this inner tranquility flourish without the material supports of property or even the buttress of physical health. Peace of mind can transform a cottage into a spacious manor hall; the want of it can make a regal residence an imprisoning shell.” KnowsWantMindDoeHandsPeaceGoalSupportCenturyMaterialsAddPropertyPossessionObservationPeace Of MindHallsQuartersShellsTranquilityPersonal ExperiencesCottagesPhysical HealthResidenceRegalQuarter Of A Century Author:Joshua L.

“In 1989, thirteen nations comprising 1,695,000 people experienced nonviolent revolutions that succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations . . . If we add all the countries touched by major nonviolent actions in our century (the Philippines, South Africa . . . the independence movement in India . . .) the figure reaches 3,337,400,000, a staggering 65% of humanity! All this in the teeth of the assertion, endlessly repeated, that nonviolence doesn't work in the 'real' world.” PeopleIfsWorldRealCountryActionHumanityNationsPeaceCenturyFiguresMovementRevolutionMajorsExpectationsIndiaIndependenceAddSouthTeethTouchedReal WorldNonviolenceSouth AfricaAssertionThirteenUbuntuPhilippinesStaggering Author:Walter Wink
