My real dream is that everybody will see their self-interest tied up with someone else, whether or not they see them, and see that as an opportunity for growing closer together as a culture and as a world.

Just because you have a piece of trash and you throw it away and it gets hauled away, it doesn't mean that it's not affecting someone else.

A man's interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows. . .

You know, people understand fear and opportunity. It may look different, but it's really the same thing.

What's popular in places considered ghettos - whether that's the inner city or Appalachia - is having a decent quality of life.

We've got to decide that we want to live in a world that is sane and happy and healthy, and that everyone deserves that.
