“We need to talk about more than just the health care plan. We need to realize we have a sickness care rather than a health care system. We need to be the party talking about why so many of our chemical policies and our food policies and our agricultural policies and our environment policies and even our economic policies are leading to people sick to begin with.”

— Marianne Williamson

“On the eve of the Republic, opponents are now demanding that we, the government, change its colour policy so that they can make more money. … Some people think we need them and keep a pistol to our head and ask for the forfeiting of certain aspects of our colour policy. We are not for sale. Our colour policy is not for sale.”

“The most common reason that relationships fall apart is because of safety. On a subconscious level, even though our relationships grant us a sense of safety, if we perceive that something about a relationship makes us unsafe, we care more about our own safety than we care about the other person’s experience and we care more about our own safety than we care about the health of the relationship itself.”

“We may easily criticize or revile the policies of those in power just because we feel that their policies are not in line with our principles. However, we should not build public opinion without considering why the policy was made, for whom and how the policy process was made. Does the policy fulfill the principles and sense of justice? We should be able to see the greater interest rather than only seeing from the side of personal gain, groups or a handful of people.”

Titon Rahmawan

“We should care about the interests of other people for the same reason we care about our own interests; for their needs and desires are comparable to our own.”
