Famous Quotes

If you’re a regular visitor to The Humanity Project website, you’ve probably noticed the famous quotes on our home page. Of course, there’s the permanent quote from Gandhi: “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” But we also have a feature below the Gandhi quote, a little box that changes six times weekly. We call this, “The Humanity Spotlight.” In addition to brief news about our group, the spotlight offers famous quotes nearly every day.

I mention this because our latest edition of The Humanity Podcast on this website is all about some of the great thoughts that have appeared on our home page. The new program is a fun look back at just a few of the significant ideas we’ve quoted by great thinkers, along with our own thoughts about how these quotes fit into our work at The Humanity Project. We hope you’ll want to check out the show. Just return to the home page and click on The Humanity Podcast, then click on the most recent posting called, “Great Minds, Great Quotes.”

From Henry David Thoreau’s insightful comment, “What a man thinks of himself, that is what determines his fate” to the Irish proverb that says, “The longest road out is the shortest road home” – those and more are included in the podcast. It’s all part of our effort to bring the best of humanity to our website, and to you, free of charge each day in an effort to help us lead better, more self-confident lives. Perhaps the great thinkers of the past still have much to teach us. At The Humanity Project, we believe they do.
