We hope the world will act in the spirit of enlightened self-interest.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I hope people start to look at their lives as the most powerful, creative act they will ever offer this world.
People acting in their own self-interest is the fuel for all the discovery, innovation, and prosperity that powers the world.
Gradually, everything that happens in the world is coming to be of interest everywhere in the world, and, gradually, thoughtful men and women everywhere are sitting in judgment upon the conduct of all nations.
Generations will soon come into their power feeling differently about themselves than we do now, and in their re-enchanted world, they will wonder about us and what we did to their world, and what we thought we were doing.
If we remove ourselves from the world, we are pretending that we can follow our own individual enlightenment and let the rest of the world go to hell, so to speak.
We live in an age of global expectations. Our hopes have converged in many ways, none more so than in our democratic aspirations.
The new world economic order is not an exercise in philanthropy, but in enlightened self-interest for everyone concerned.
I think most people act in their self-interest.
Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.
Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.
