An enormous conflict between words and deeds is prevalent today: everyone talks about freedom, democracy, justice, human rights, about peace and saving the world from nuclear apocalypse; and at the same time, everyone, more or less, consciously or unconsciously, serves those values and ideals only to the extent necessary to serve himself and his "worldly" interests, personal interests, group interests, power interests, property interests, and state or great-power interests. . . . So the power structures apparently have no other choice than to sink deeper into this vicious maelstrom, and contemporary people apparently have no other choice than to wait around until the final inhibition drops away. But who should begin? Who should break this vicious circle? Responsibility cannot be preached but only borne, and the only possible place to begin is with oneself. —Vaclav Havel More about this quote Tags: justice truth power freedom peace words democracy change responsibility talk values Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

When we depart from these value, we do so at our peril. —J. William Fulbright More about this quote Tags: values Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

We live in a time of transition, an uneasy era which is likely to endure for the rest of this century.

Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities - not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. —Jimmy Carter More about this quote Tags: values Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
