Quote #1
“The secret of success is to realize that the crisis on our planet is much larger than just deciding what to do with your own life, and if the system under which we live begins to collapse because of our selfishness and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have $1 million dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00. The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the world of contributing to the healing of the world.” (Marianne Williamson)
Quote #2
“I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science, we could address those problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy and to deal with those we need a cultural and spiritual transformation. And we scientists don’t know how to do that.” (Gus Speth)
Quote #3
“A man is called selfish not for pursing his own good, but for neglecting his neighbor’s.” (Richard Whately)
Bonus Quote
“The world says: “You have needs – satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and mighty. Don’t hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more.” This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, it’s envy and murder.” (Fyodor Dostoyevsky)
