E. F. SchumacherEconomic policies absorb almost the entire attention of government, and at the same time become ever more impotent.

E. F. SchumacherWe must do what we conceive to be the right thing, and not bother our heads or burden our souls with whether we are going to be successful. Because if we don't do the right thing, we'll be doing the wrong thing, and we will just be part of the disease, and not a part of the cure.
E. F. SchumacherOur task - and the task of all education - is to understand the present world, the world in which we live and make our choices.
