Harry Browne

Building a more compassionate society is going to be a bilateral exercise between individuals and the brands that represent their aspirations, their values and their truths. People make brands. If people are compassionate, brands will be compassionate in return.

Medea Benjamin

If you want to bring the people of this world together, you have to be willing to engage with countries that do not share our [western] democratic values.

Herbert Hainer

It's not enough to have values without vision ; you want to be good, but you want to be good for something. On the other hand, vision without values can create a Hitler .
