A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life raft and a festival (Community Quotes)
When the function of libraries is put in terms of their contributions to the community, people see their centrality. The challenge to us is to continue to help them see it in those terms to describe our larger purposes. We must assert that libraries are central to the quality of life in our society; that libraries have a direct role in preserving democratic freedoms. Free access to information and the opportunity of every individual to improve his or her mind, employment prospects, and lifestyle are fundamental rights in our society (Community Quotes)
The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else’s back. That’s the essence of community (Community Quotes)
If we dwell in a community that is comfortable, then it’s probably not broad enough a coalition (Community Quotes)
My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning. I wanted my death to be something the people could relate to, a basis for further mobilization of the community (Community Quotes)
Capitalism is the only society in human history in which neither tradition nor conscious direction supervises the total effort of the community; it is the only society in which the future, the needs for tomorrow, are entirely left to an automatic system (Community Quotes)
The community owes us nothing. It’s up to us to go out and earn their respect (Community Quotes)
One should not withdraw from individuals and commit to the community what they can accomplish by their own enterprise and industry (Community Quotes)
It is evident that the right of acquiring and possessing property, and having it protected, is one of the natural, inherent, and unalienable rights of man. Men have a sense of property: Property is necessary to their subsistence, and correspondent to their natural wants and desires; its security was one of the objects, that induced them to unite in society. No man would become a member of a community, in which he could not enjoy the fruits of his honest labour and industry (Community Quotes)
We are the state, and we shall continue to be the state until we have created the institutions that form a real community and society of men (Community Quotes)
The true wealth of a community is measured by how carefully it listens to its women and how sincerely it values their wisdom. Empowering women empowers us all (Community Quotes)
If people knew the kind things my mom has done for the community and for families over the years, I think that they would be stunned (Community Quotes)
I want to create a place where trans people and our allies could come together to share experiences, information and ideas. Being transgender or loving someone who is transgender can be challenging in our society and I hope that members of this site will also use this space as a place to support and encourage each other. Together, we can strengthen our community and open the hearts and minds of others (Community Quotes)
I didn’t know the answers, but I could feel that the things that gave life meaning came from a place within and from the nurturing of values like tolerance, charity, and community (Community Quotes)
A sense of community has always been important to me. I understood very early that I could not grow as an artist or as a person without being connected to institutions and clients that served the community (Community Quotes)
I do not know whether any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false (Community Quotes)
While science has nothing of value to say on the great and aching questions of life, death, love and meaning, what the religious traditions of mankind have said forms a coherent body of thought... There is recompense for suffering. A principle beyond selfishness is at work in the cosmos... I do not know whether any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false (Community Quotes)
Equality means more than passing laws. The struggle is really won in the hearts and minds of the community, where it really counts (Community Quotes)
Starting in high school and continuing through our higher education system, we must ensure our students are on the right path to acquiring marketable skills that will lead to a productive and satisfying career. My goal is for every student to get a job after they graduate – not move back in with his or her parents. To do that, we must emphasize skill attainment in our community colleges and universities, use our resources more efficiently and measure success in a comprehensive way (Community Quotes)
It’s so dangerous to idealize anything, or anyone, or any place, because it gives that thing or person or place a kind of permission to not have to change, and not have to evolve. It encourages us to bury our heads in the sand, or in values that are really morally neutral but that we pretend are moral goods: tradition, community and family for example (Community Quotes)
Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible (Community Quotes)
Once you step inside, history has to be rewritten to include you. A fiction develops a story that weaves you into the social fabric, giving you roots and a local identity. You are assimilated, and in erasing your differences and making you one of their own, the community can maintain belief in its wholeness and purity. After two or three generations, nobody remembers the story is fiction. It has become fact. And this is how history is made (Community Quotes)
We’ve focused a lot on visible evidence. We believe that a community needs to make the visible statement about who the community is (Community Quotes)
An organization which claims to speak for the needs of a community must speak in the tone of that community (Community Quotes)
The constitution ought to secure a genuine militia and guard against a select militia... All regulations tending to render this general militia useless and defenseless, by establishing select corps of militia, or distinct bodies of military men, not having permanent interests and attachments to the community ought to be avoided (Community Quotes)
The most serious charge that can be brought against modern benevolence is that it encourages the perpetuation of defectives, delinquents and dependents. These are the most dangerous elements in the world community, the most devastating curse on human progress and expression (Community Quotes)
It is the poet and philosopher who provide the community of objectives in which the artist participates. Their chief preoccupation, like the artist, is the expression in concrete form of their notions of reality. Like him, they deal with the verities of time and space, life and death, and the heights of exaltation as well as the depths of despair. The preoccupation with these eternal problems creates a common ground which transcends the disparity in the means used to achieve them (Community Quotes)
The most touching thing that anyone can say to me is that I have done something beautiful for the community (Community Quotes)
We live in community, and we’re created in community. We’re created out of the unity of two people, and then we’re made into a family. It’s just inherent in who we are (Community Quotes)
The common characteristics of people make a community possible, but it is their uncommon qualities that make it better (Community Quotes)
