Quote of the Day

I could see that, because the Gandhians listened, they were listened to.  Because they depended on generosity, they created generosity.  Because they walked a nonviolent path, they made one seem possible.  This was the practical organizing wisdom they taught me:

• If you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them.
• If you hope people will change how they live, you have to know how they live.
• If you want people to see you, you have to sit down with them eye-to-eye.
