Every person, every new generation, brings new relational, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual energy. The Civilization of Love alone will maximize those contributions.

Awareness is that love is the ocean we, and all that lives, are immersed in. Prayer, meditation, art, service, humor, beauty, surprise gets you there.

Unite as a family that is stronger than the sum of small individual members. The whole is greater than the part, also greater than the sum of the parts.

This movement serves as a jolt; jump-starting people’s hearts into an open position, from which they can act individually and together in a more noble way.

We dare to dream big, to rethink our priorities, to create something new that reflects our deepest values and commit our daily lives to.

The hope is where people dig in their heels and say: “this is how it’s going to be here. We care about each other.”

Where is the love? There is no love where the resources are skewed in such a way for the benefit of a few while so many others suffer.

This movement requires a level of courage needed and seen in war. This is facing our own lower instincts and fears. An external enemy can be easier to confront.

How we turn this around: The people you do good with become your allies; those you can trust in the future missions.

You can’t sustain 50 years of intensified selfishness; throw in Vietnam, Watergate, 9-11, 2008 recession, 2 failed Middle East wars, Trump, and a pandemic and just say...

We do horrible things to each other and when we refuse to love, it’s always the kids who get hurt. We must leave them a safer, more peaceful world.

Our core message is that love is the answer. Love manifested as the greatest good, for the greatest number, in the greatest number of circumstances, for the greatest amount...

An age of unprecedented death and destruction has dawned upon humanity, and unless we reverse this flow and make a serious course correction, humanity will drop backwards...

Love never Fails.

Love is the Final Frontier.

Love is always putting the good ahead of personal desires.

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive." Dalai Lama

Try to do good in the world, not out of fear of hell or adherence to religious platitudes or even the reward of heaven. Do it because it feels better than being a jerk.

Breaking through to a new level requires breaking through our comfort zones and facing the uncomfortable.

"The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible." Arthur C. Clarke

Love is rejecting any conceit of our own achievements. It rejects any willingness to impose power on those more vulnerable.

Not allowing someone their voice is claiming that you are crippled by the fear of what they might say.

Would good can possibly come out of surrendering to “this is the way it will always be, and you can’t change it.” Does that feed your soul? We do not have to accept this...

This movement is the ultimate re-set; capturing the power of new beginning; activating new and novel pathways and rhythms.

The paradigm is shifting.

This is the launch of a huge national renewal, offering an ideal and goal that is profound enough that we can unite behind it and move forward.

United is not uniform conformity. The syntheses of diverse cultures grows a more vibrant, beautiful world.

In this era of identity politics remember that we have many identities. Let's focus on our ultimate identities: 1- we are each God’s beloved child 2- we are all members of...

We all want to feel that this is our home. But we’re afraid. The greed, stupidity, hate, anger, fear, chaos, corruption, insanity has gone so far that we fear we are...

There is nothing more beautiful, meaningful, and life-giving than the person doing whatever task is before them radiating with peace, joy and love from within.

It’s a big country. There’s a lot of people who don’t think like you do. We don’t have to agree on everything. Let it go. The only hope for healing is to take the ego out of...

Now is the time to let go of what no longer serves us.

Our past is never our future. Yesterday does not equal tomorrow.

We cannot change one moment of the past, but we can change our whole future.

Ultimately love, translated into just acts, is the only real hope for peace. Everything else is smoke and mirrors.

The Civilization of Love facilitates bonding for the larger purposes of why we have been brought together.

We will benefit and shape a more noble culture by deeply examining our lifestyles, relationships, the organization of our society, and the very meaning of our existence.

“It’s only the giving that makes you what you are.” Ian Anderson

The worst thing we can do is not try. There is a Chinese proverb: “Failure is the mother of success.”

We don’t die when our hearts stop beating. We die when and where we feel we don't matter anymore.

When a large number of animals are thrown together in a harsh environment each regards every other animal as an enemy.

“Friendship that insists on agreement in all things is not worthy of the name.” Gandhi

We are changing the world for good, with love. Go the Way your Blood Beats

The way you disagree is more important than the argument you make. If you don’t respect people they will believe that everything you say, believe, and do are wrong.

Why can’t we live together? Because there’s a lot of people that the only way they can keep their power and privilege is to keep us at each others throats.

Trust your intuitive gut instinct. We pick up each others vibrations and know when someone needs love and also when something is not right.

Love does not diminish resources. The more we give, the more we have to give.

On the earth at any given time, there are only two races of human beings, two generations: those striving to love. and those who do not.

We are altering the trajectory of America, life on this planet, and our species towards love. Nothing less. Join us.

We wonder how we can love our enemies, when lots of times we don’t even like our friends.

Love is not weak. It is ultimate strength. You would be very mistaken to think that love is softness. As we grow in our capacity to love, our strength grows even greater.

“Life is a series of collisions with the future. It is not a sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.” Jose Ortega y Gasset

There is no change or growth without pain. It’s time for the adolescent period of humanity to end; for us to grow up and face difficult, even unpleasant tasks.

All human beings deserve to live with the right of freedom to choose love.

Keep alive our collective conscience, so in the midst of great inhumanity, suffering, and corruption; we may retain our dignity, and choose goodness, forgiveness, and love.

Human beings defend ourselves at all costs for self-preservation. We are rapidly in many ways building a culture of walls around hearts and territory. We need to build...

What we’ve learned: affluence and economic wealth are not enough, infinite amusement is not enough, infinite information is not enough. Freedom itself is not enough; it’s...

What is needed for real change for the better? In any institution you can only do good when there are people in place to build a Civilization of Love.

You can get on board the “Civilization of Love” train, but if you refuse or get in the way, history will not judge you honorably.

They can never say- “Oh we tried love, it didn’t work.” It’s never been tried.

Can’t say you love your country if you hate half the people in it.

Among the greatest goals of the Civilization of Love Movement is to foster unity; to build new coalitions, and de-escalate tribal conflict.
