One of the sections I often enjoy is the quotes - often these are sent in my members or are just ones I've come across. This month:
"We cannot have peace ON the earth until we also have peace WITH the earth."
Julia Butterfly Hill
"The uncertainty of our times is no reason to be certain about hopelessness.”
Vandana Shiva
"Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."
Nelson Mandela
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."
Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Freedom of the press in Britain means freedom to print such of the proprietor's prejudices as the advertisers don't object to."
Journalist Hannen Swaffer in 1928
