All we have to do to create the future is to change the nature of our conversations, to go from blame to ownership, and from bargaining to commitment, and from problem solving to possibility.

Transformation comes more from pursuing profound questions than seeking practical answers.

The essential challenge is to transform the isolation and self-interest within our communities into connectedness and caring for the whole.

Ones vision is not a road map but a compass.

If there is no transformation inside of us, all the structural change in the world will have no impact on our institutions.

It is a misuse of our power to take responsibility for solving problems that belong to others.

The price of change is measured by our will and courage, our persistence, in the face of difficulty.

Beauty within itself should not be wasted.
