The gospel truth presented to those who believe the heavy hand of force is always the answer: “While the government is studying and funding and organizing its Big Thought, nothing is being done. But the citizen who is willing to Think Little, and, accepting the discipline of that, to go ahead on his own, is already solving the problem. A man who is trying to live as a neighbor to his neighbors will have a lively and practical understanding of the work of peace and brotherhood, and let there be no mistake about it - he is doing that work... A man who is willing to undertake the discipline and the difficulty of mending his own ways is worth more to the conservation movement than a hundred who are insisting merely that the government and the industries mend their ways. ― Wendell Berry, The Art Of The Commonplace, Agrarian Essays In other words, Be The Change You Want To See instead of using force to wring from others the things you would like have happen.
