Mahatma Gandhi
Monday, October 11, 2010
65. "To be hopeful in bad times is not just
foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that
human history is a history not only of cruelty,
but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage,
and kindness What we choose to emphasize
in this complex history will determine our
lives....”
Monday, October 11, 2010
66. “If we see only the worst, it destroys our
capacity to do something. If we remember
those times and places (and there are so
many) where people have behaved
magnificently, this gives us the energy to act,
and at least the possibility of sending this
spinning top of a world in a different
direction...”
Monday, October 11, 2010
67. “And if we do act, in however small a way,
we don't have to wait for some grand
utopian future. The future is an infinite
succession of presents, and to live now as
we think human beings should live, in
defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself
a marvelous victory."
-Howard Zinn
