A small body of determined spirits
fired by an unquenchable faith
in their mission
can alter the course of history.
- Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.

Though force can protect in emergency,
only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation
can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Competition has been shown to be useful
up to a certain point and no further,
but cooperation, which is the thing
we must strive for today,
begins where competition leaves off.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
The choice is to work alone to be a little
more successful than the next person,
or to work together for the great betterment of humanity.
Do you ever question why our educational system
teaches competition rather than cooperation?
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
If you can laugh together, you can work together.
- Robert Orben
