David Mitchell : If we believe that humanity may transcend tooth & claw, if we believe divers races & creeds can share this world as peaceably as the orphans share their candlenut tree, if we believe leaders must be just, violence muzzled, power accountable & the riches of the Earth & its Oceans shared equitably, such a world will come to pass. # Leaders and Leadership # Humankind # Love

Mataji Nirmala Srivastava : " “BUT TODAY IS THE DAY I DECLARE THAT I AM THE ONE WHO HAS TO SAVE THE HUMANITY, I DECLARE I AM THE ONE WHO IS ADISAKTHI, WHO IS THE MOTHER OF ALL THE MOTHERS; WHO IS THE PRIMORDIAL MOTHER; THE SAKTHI; THE PUREST DESIRE OF GOD; WHO HAS INCARNATED ON THIS EARTH. TO GIVE MEANING TO ITSELF; TO THIS CREATION; TO HUMAN BEINGS; AND I AM SURE THAT THROUGH MY LOVE AND PATIENCE AND THROUGH MY POWERS, I AM GOING TO ACHIEVE IT. I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS BORN AGAIN & AGAIN . BUT NOW I HAVE COME IN MY COMPLETE FORM AND WITH COMPLETE POWERS. I HAVE COME ON THIS EARTH, NOT ONLY FOR SALVATION OF HUMAN BEINGS, NOT ONLY FOR THEIR EMANCIPATION, BUT FOR GRANTING THEM THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN; THE JOY; THE BLISS THAT YOUR FATHER WANTS TO BESTOW UPON YOU. THOSE DEVOTEES OF MINE WHO WORSHIP ME WITH NO OTHER THOUGHT AND EVER UNITED WITH ME, I LOOK AFTER NOT ONLY THEIR MOKSHA, BUT THEIR WORLDLY WELL BEING AS WELL. LEAVING ASIDE ALL WORLDLY DHARMAS, SURRENDER UNTO ME AND I WILL LIBERATE THEE FROM ALL SINS, GRIEVE NOT” [1] " # Leaders and Leadership # Humankind # Love

Simone Weil : " The recognition of human wretchedness is difficult for whoever is rich and powerful because he is almost invincibly led to believe that he is something. It is equally difficult for the man in miserable circumstances because he is almost invincibly led to believe that the rich and powerful man is something. [p.216] " # Leaders and Leadership # Humankind # Love

Miguel Serrano : " We believe that if the world doesn't go quickly to an end, it will be only because Hitlerism transformed itself into a new religious faith, able to change the materialistic man of today into a new idealistic hero where the "beyond life" is as important as life itself. That was the attitude of the heroes of Thermopylae who were fighting for honor and duty, for Dharma, as Indians would say. " # Leaders and Leadership # Humankind # Love

Ronald Reagan : " They tell us we must learn to live with less, and teach our children that their lives will be less full and prosperous than ours have been; that the America of the coming years will be a place where — because of our past excesses — it will be impossible to dream and make those dreams come true. I don't believe that. And, I don't believe you do either. That is why I am seeking the presidency. I cannot and will not stand by and see this great country destroy itself. Our leaders attempt to blame their failures on circumstances beyond their control, on false estimates by unknown, unidentifiable experts who rewrite modern history in an attempt to convince us our high standard of living, the result of thrift and hard work, is somehow selfish extravagance which we must renounce as we join in sharing scarcity. I don't agree that our nation must resign itself to inevitable decline, yielding its proud position to other hands. I am totally unwilling to see this country fail in its obligation to itself and to the other free peoples of the world. " # Leaders and Leadership # Humankind # Love

Baruch (Benedict de) Spinoza : " When you say that if I deny, that the operations of seeing, hearing, attending, wishing, &c., can be ascribed to God, or that they exist in Him in any eminent fashion, you do not know what sort of God mine is; I suspect that you believe there is no greater perfection than such as can be explained by the aforesaid attributes. I am not astonished; for I believe that, if a triangle could speak, it would say, in like manner, that God is eminently triangular, while a circle would say that the divine nature is eminently circular. Thus each would ascribe to God its own attributes, would assume itself to be like God, and look on everything else as ill-shaped. The briefness of a letter and want of time do not allow me to enter into my opinion on the divine nature, or the questions you have propounded. Besides, suggesting difficulties is not the same as producing reasons. That we do many things in the world from conjecture is true, but that our redactions are based on conjecture is false. In practical life we are compelled to follow what is most probable; in speculative thought we are compelled to follow truth. A man would perish of hunger and thirst, if he refused to eat or drink, till he had obtained positive proof that food and drink would be good for him. But in philosophic reflection this is not so. On the contrary, we must take care not to admit as true anything, which is only probable. For when one falsity has been let in, infinite others follow. Again, we cannot infer that because sciences of things divine and human are full of controversies and quarrels, therefore their whole subject-matter is uncertain; for there have been many persons so enamoured of contradiction, as to turn into ridicule geometrical axioms.

Gore Vidal : " One of our greatest strengths as a democracy is that when we're headed in the wrong direction, we can correct our course. When policies are clearly not working, we, the people, can change them. If our leaders make mistakes, we can hold them accountable — even if they never admit their mistakes. I firmly believe America needs new leadership that will make us stronger at home and respected in the world. " # Leaders and Leadership # Humankind # Love

Derek Abbot : " I personally don't let 'untestability' upset me too much, in general, provided that the untestable concept is consistent with a set of other things that are testable. Then I can choose to believe in the untestable concept on the grounds of circumstantial evidence. This choice is not for scientific purposes. It is to give me a structure for my world-view. It may indeed prove to become scientific one day when measuring instruments do things we never dreamed. So for the moment, it is an act of faith. Such acts of faith, supported by circumstantial evidence, are not irrational. Humans do it all the time for their sanity. " # Leaders and Leadership # Humankind # Love
