Hope
is the strongest driving force for a people. Hope which
brings about change, which produces new realities, is
what opens man's road to freedom. Once hope has taken
hold, courage must unite with wisdom. That is the only
way of avoiding violence, the only way of maintaining
the calm one needs to respond peacefully to offenses.

The interdependency of humankind, the relevance of
relationship, the sacredness of creation is ancient,
ancient wisdom.
-- Rebecca
Adamson

The indigenous understanding has its basis of spirituality
in a recognition of the interconnectedness and interdependence
of all living things, a holistic and balanced view
of the world. All things are bound together. All things
connect. What happens to the Earth happens to the
children of the earth. Humankind has not woven the
web of life; we are but one thread. Whatever we do
to the web, we do to ourselves.
-- Rebecca

To
understand reality is not the same as to know about
outward events. It is to perceive the essential nature
of things. The best-informed man is not necessarily
the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely
in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose
sight of what is essential. But on the other hand,
knowledge of an apparently trivial detail quite often
makes it possible to see into the depth of things.
And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best
possible knowledge about events, but always without
becoming dependent upon this knowledge. To recognize
the significant in the factual is wisdom.
-- Dietrich
Bonhoeffer

Man
has but little heeded the advice of the wise men. He
has been - fatefully, if not willingly - less virtuous,
less constant, less rational, less peaceful than he
knows how to be, than he is fully capable of being.
He has been led astray from the ways of peace and brotherhood
by his addiction to concepts and attitudes of narrow
nationalism, racial and religious bigotry, greed and
lust for power.

If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge
and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions
of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds
must grow.

Through
mutual understanding, sincerity and goodwill, and
with great wisdom and broad views, the leaders on
both sides should jointly initiate new opportunities
for peace, stability, cooperation and mutual benefit.
