Wisdoms From Ones Far Greater Than I

"A time Comes when silence is betrayal. Men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. For we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness so close around us... We are all called upon to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for the victims of our nation, for those it calls enemy, for no document from human hand can make these humans any less our brothers." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., New York, 1967

"We can no longer afford to confuse peaceability with passivity. Authentic peace is no more passive than war. Like war, it calls for discipline and intelligence and strength of character, though it calls also for higher principles and aims. If we are serious about peace, then we must work for it ardently, seriously, continuously, carefully, and bravely as we have ever prepared for war." -Wendell Berry, A Citizen's Response to the National Security Strategy of the United States of America, 2003

“Faith is the centerpiece of a connected life. It allows us to live by the grace of invisible strands. It is a belief in a wisdom superior to our own. Faith becomes a teacher in the absence of fact.”- Terry Tempest Williams

"What threatens us today is fear... Our danger is the forces in the world today which are trying to use man's fear to rob him of his individuality, his soul, trying to reduce him to an unthinking mass of fear... This is what we must resist, if we are to change the world for man's peace and security... So never be afraid.Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion, against injustice and lying and greed. If you...will do this, not as a class or classes, but as individuals, men and women, you will change the earth."-William Faulkner

"Our lives begin to end when we become silent about things that matter"- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Quote from the Open Space of Democracy

"What does the open space of democracy look like?
In the open space of democracy there is room for dissent.
In the open space of democracy there is room for differences.
In the open space of democracy, the health of the environment is seen as the wealth of our communities. We remember that our character has been shaped by the diversity of America’s landscapes and it is precisely that character that will protect it. Cooperation is valued more than competition; prosperity becomes the caretaker of poverty. The humanities are not peripheral, but the very art of what it means to be human.
In the open space of democracy, beauty is not optional, but essential to our survival as a species. And technology is not rendered at the expense of life, but developed out of a reverence for life.
Reverence for life.
The open space of democracy is a landscape that encourages diversity and discourages conformity." -Terry Tempest Williams
