Community

The best political community is formed by citizens of the middle class. Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), Politics Isn't everyone a part of everyone else? Budd Schulberg, O Magazine, November 2003 First it is necessary to stand on your own two feet. But the minute a man finds himself in that position, the next thing he should do is reach out his arms. Kristin Hunter, O Magazine, November 2003 Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead (1901 - 1978) The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession. Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) But the life that no longer trust another human being and no longer forms ties to the political community is not a human life any longer. Martha Nussbaum, O Magazine, November 2003 God creates men, but they choose each other. Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 - 1527), quoted in O Magazine, November 2003
