“After 9/11, the president and the government were looking for a way to help organize spontaneous volunteers. Twenty-five thousand people showed up to help in New York, and they didn't know what to do with them; it just created another event. So they got to looking at this and they developed the Citizen Corps Council.”
Dale Simpson
“It is not discrimination to treat different things differently.”
Maggie Gallagher
“It really is like spontaneous combustion. Everything has been organized virtually from the ground up, and I think everybody, including the celebrities, is just catching up with this movement.”
Ralph Neas
“Only in spontaneity can we be who we truly are.”
John McLaughlin
“If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything.”
Win Borden
“We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.”
Maria Montessori
“Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one's death.”
Dr. Rollo May
