quotes of empowerment

[Donna]

"men exist for the sake of one another teach them or bear with them"  . Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

"A man not only needs to know how to fish, he needs to have the freedom to do it and a place to do it.  That's where communities come in, we have to help each other, and we feel government has a very important role therein".  Bill Ayres

I like this two quotes, it reminds me that people need people and must be given the opportunity and space for expression in order to further a sense of empowerment.

[Dave Valentine]

...the case for community development in a nutshell.

[Karen McArdle]

I like these two quotes too as they have a practical focus too.

[Pauline Gerrard]
