The
human race may be compared to a writer. At the
outset a writer has often only a vague general
notion of the plan of his work, and of the thought
he intends to elaborate. As he proceeds, penetrating
his material, laboring to express himself fitly,
he lays a firmer grasp on his thought; he finds
himself. So the human race is writing its story,
finding itself, discovering its own underlying
purpose, revising, recasting a tale pathetic often,
yet none the less sublime.
-- Felix Adler

“Despite
the threat of global terror hanging over all of
us, there is only one path: to pursue the Millennium
Development Goals with fresh resolve –confronting
violence, bigotry and hatred with the same determination
that we attack the causes from which they spring
– conflict, ignorance, poverty and disease. The
world we seek, where every child can grow to adulthood
in health, peace and dignity – in short, a world
fit for children – has remained a dream for more
years than we can count. But we at UNICEF are
convinced that working together with committed
partners, and with an appropriate plan of action
and a commitment to resources, we can make that
dream a reality for each and every child on earth.”
-- Carol Bellamy

"I
don't wish to defend everything that has been
done in the name of utopia. But I think that many
of the attacks misconceive its nature and function.
As I have tried to suggest, utopia is not mainly
about providing detailed blueprints for social
reconstruction. Its concern with ends is about
making us think about possible worlds. It is about
inventing and imagining worlds for our contemplation
and delight. It opens up our minds to the possibilities
of the human condition. It is this that we most
seem to need at the present time. There are doomsters
enough-though they have their part to play, like
the prophets of old, warning and admonishing.
There are also our latter-day millenarians, somewhat
jaded in their outlook on the world, and rather
prepared to settle for a quiet life and the idle
ticking-over of the engine of history. Without
wishing to bang the inspiration drum too loudly,
this hardly seems enough."
-- Malcolm Bull
"Make
no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s
blood. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work."
-- Daniel Hudson Burnham
“A
man who does not plan long ahead will find trouble
right at his door” Confucius quotes
A
good plan implemented today is better than a perfect
plan that is put off. Do the best you can, but
do it today.
-- John Di Frances

Plans
are only good intentions unless they immediately
degenerate into hard work.
-- Peter F. Drucker
Long
range planning does not deal with future decisions,
but with the future of present decisions. -- Peter
F. Drucker

We are all together in this, we are all together
in this single living ecosystem called planet
earth. As we learn how we fit into the greater
scheme of things, and begin to understand how
the system works, we can plan ahead, we can use
the resources responsibly, to show some respect
for this inheritance that goes back 4.6 billion
years.
~ Sylvia Earle

To
accomplish great things, we must not only act, but
also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
- Anatole France |

"To
win, we will need to keep building the movement,
networking with one another, planning, strategizing,
and moving forward. Our children's futures, and
those of their unborn children, are at stake."

Our
goals can only be reached through a vehicle of
a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and
upon which we must vigorously act. There is no
other route to success.

Many
documents have been created as attempts to lay out
in a concrete way the conditions that are necessary
to create a better world. The United Nations' Declaration
of Human Rights, for instance is still a shining
example of how we should be treating each other.
The Earth Charter was produced after thousands of
individuals collaborated for more than ten years.
It sets forth a wonderful blueprint for a more peaceful,
just and sustainable planet. The Better World Handbook
provides an extensive look at the problems facing
our world, and hands-on ways that we can solve these
problems and create a better world.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

Without
leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement
of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form
of planning."
-- Gloria Steinem

All
endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last
mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours
toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one...
characteristic we must posses if we are to face
the future as finishers.
-- Henry David
Thoreau

"Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and
wildlife are in fact plans to protect man."

- William Arthur Ward

plan to be successful.”
- William Arthur Ward

"Joy
is what happens when we allow ourselves to recognize
how good things are. Joy is not necessarily what
happens when things unfold according to our plans."
-- Marianne
Williamson

I
avoid grandiose plans. I start with a small piece
that I can do. I go to the root of the problem
and then work around it. It's building brick by
brick.
-- Muhammad Yunus
