Assorted Readings on Leadership
And Ending the Downward Spiral of our Internet Based Society
People are listening more carefully than you can believe. I must be careful, open and compassionate and not bite off too much to chew.
For all the Hindu/Buddhist literature covers oddly enough I don’t think it speaks on bipolar-ism, hysteria, degeneracy, burn-out, corruption, fraud and lack of socioeconomic regulations or the overrunning of scarcity/competition culture simply because it’s too gentle a people in too good a time in too small a world. We have to acknowledge the greater secular order which has sustained us and the compassionate care and death-defying bravery which grew it. The rise of our Liberal Christian tradition was closely linked lock-step with good deeds and harrowing actions. I’m not a person that can be relied on and I have to acknowledge that. Resultingly I’m going to shut the fuck up and quote people instead. Imagine if citizens were able to stand this bravely and proud before the people today. I shouldn’t be on the internet…I have a terminal case of stupidity and I haven’t slept.
“There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.”
― Ronald Reagan
“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.”
― John F. Kennedy
“A wise Government seeks to provide the opportunity through which the best of individual achievement can be obtained, while at the same time it seeks to remove such obstruction, such unfairness as springs from selfish human motives.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt
“You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, "you are free to compete with all the others," and still justly believe that you have been completely fair. We seek not just legal equity but human ability, not just equality as a right and a theory but equality as a fact and equality as a result.”
— Lyndon B. Johnson
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
― Abraham Lincoln
“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
