Famous quotes

« The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large. »
Confucius
« In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension, then, the more gardens in the world, the more justice, the more sense is created. »
Andrew Weil
« I've used drugs that I do consider to be dangerous, drugs that are potentially detrimental to kids and society at large. »
Tim Robbins
« I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men. »
Julianna Baggott
« Corporate executives need to re-frame their responsibilities to include the interests of all the stakeholders in society at large not just shareholders, but also employees, the citizens of our communities, and those who care about the environment. »
