“There are no shortcuts for a civilization
to become sustainable.
Only sound intention, moral fortitude,
and unflinching perseverance by citizens
offer the capability of moving families,
communities, and whole societies
in that direction.”
“Once the seven core values of social sustainability
become known as the ultimate set of values
that provide the enduring, universal criteria
for evaluating all things human and social,
there will be no going back to
politics as usual
for people who historically have been
the pawns of
those in authority, control, and power.”
