“As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.”

- Margaret Mead

“[Carl] Rogers’ refusal to play the chairman’s role at conferences created outrage at first – then after a few days the participants would realize what he had done for them. He had shown them that they too could part the waters and lead themselves to salvation. He had shown them that a leader is not necessary when you realize how strong, valuable, wise, and compassionate, in a word, how good, your fellow human beings are.”

- Ernesto Sirolli from Ripples from the Zambezi: Passion, Entrepreneurship, and the Rebirth of Local Economies
