"As a community goes so goes the nation."

"Anyone who says that society can be run on the basis of everyones trying to maximize his own greed is talking total nonsense. And to teach it in schools, and to go on television and call it the American way of life still doesnt make it true. Competition and envy cannot become the basis of any society or any community."

"Man is not willingly a political animal. The human male associates with his fellows less by desire than by habit, imitation, and the compulsion of circumstance; he does not love society so much as he fears solitude. He combines with other men because isolation endangers him, and because there are many things that can be done better together than alone; in his heart he is a solitary individual, pitted heroically against the world."

"Community can be defined simply as a group in which free conversation can take place. Community is where I can share my innermost thoughts, bring out the depths of my own feelings, and know they will be understood."

"Nations had risen against nations, employing the subtlest devices of mechanism and mind to waste, and excruciate, and overthrow. The great community of mankind had been subdivided into ten thousand communities, each organized for the ruin of the other."
