Reason for Hope Quotes

“Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.”

Reason for Hope

“It is these undeniable qualities of human love and compassion and self-sacrifice that give me hope for the future. We are, indeed, often cruel and evil. Nobody can deny this. We gang up on each one another, we torture each other, with words as well as deeds, we fight, we kill. But we are also capable of the most noble, generous, and heroic behavior.”

Reason for Hope

“Most of us don't realize the difference we could make. We love to shrug off our own responsibilities, to point fingers at others. 'Surely,' we say, 'the pollution, waste, and other ills are not our fault. They are the fault of the industry, business, science. They are the fault of the politicians.' This leads to a destructive and potentially deadly apathy.”

Reason for Hope

“There is a powerful force unleashed when young people resolve to make a change.”

Reason for Hope

“We have a responsibility toward the other life-forms of our planet whose continued existence is threatened by the thoughtless behavior of our own human species. Environmental responsibility – for if there is no God, then, obviously, it is up to us to put things right.”
