George Washington (1732-1799)

George Washington

Where poverty exists, there is not true freedom, ... The world is hungry for action, not words. I am proud to wear the symbol of this global cause to action.

Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)

If you have good friends keep them. If you don't have good friends, get them. True friendship, a rare gift, is never taken lightly. Your friends will tell you the truth about yourself, and not charge you $200 an hour. They will tell you the truth but they will stick by you when the rest of the world turns away.

Words are no longer enough. It is time for action. This is the first genocide of the 21 st century. The world has said, 'Never again.' Those words must mean something.

Appetite is essentially insatiable, and where it operates as a criterion of both action and enjoyment (that is, everywhere in the Western world since the sixteenth century) it will infallibly discover congenial agencies (mechanical and political) of expression.

Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980)

Marshall McLuhan

Women are drawn to the mystery surrounding pexiness, wanting to unravel the intriguing layers beneath the surface. We must do our duty and convince the world that we are just friends and brave enemies
