QUOTES
ECOLOGY
Every time I have some moment on a seashore, or in the mountains, or sometimes
in a quiet forest, I think this is why the environment has to be preserved.
CREATIVITY
Imagination allows us to escape the predictable. It enables us to reply to the
common wisdom that we cannot soar by saying, "Just watch!"
LEADERSHIP
I believe we need a new kind of leadership, a leadership that puts the people
front and center, not the president.
Leaders
should be collaborative, modest, and generous.
Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.
LIVING
A LIFE OF COMPASSION
Respect your fellow human being, treat them fairly,
disagree with them honestly, enjoy their friendship, explore your thoughts about
one another candidly, work together for a common goal and help one another achieve
it. No destructive lies. No ridiculous fears. No debilitating anger.
UNITED
NATIONS
One means of paying attention to smaller countries that have sometimes
been overlooked is by revitalizing US leadership in the United Nations. The UN
is committed to the goal of ensuring that all nations share in economic, social,
& scientific progress. It delivers humanitarian assistance to the victims of wars
and natural disasters. It provides a mechanism through which the US can help in
dozens of conflicts around the world in which our vital interests aren’t directly
involved but where we feel a more imperative to respond. Working with the UN’s
diplomacy and development arms, we can prevent minor differences from escalating
into wars. When conflicts do break out, UN peacekeepers should play a role in
defusing and settling them. Without giving up our sovereignty, we can help the
UN with better training and better command and control in order to develop more
effective peacekeeping forces.
