“If kids have an early start, they have the skills necessary to fight off a bully or someone trying to sell them drugs. Kids are resilient. If someone tries to get them into drugs, they have the skills to say no because someone talked to them about the importance of standing up for themselves at an early age.”

“The data revealed some real surprises. Even though most people assumed it wouldn't come back, you could say the forest sort of surprised us with its resilience. Our management goals for early conifer establishment were met even without any effort on our part.”

“[Kingston spends much of his time in Washington in meetings with DeLay, and attributed his resilience to a prodigious work ethic, a disciplined schedule and a well-organized staff.] It's not popular to say, ... but one reason is that he knows Jesus personally.

“Part of me wanted to say, 'It wasn't yours, it was mine.' But it's part of that iconic relationship. I was afraid I was going to lose my mind, like Virginia Woolf. The heart can break -- it's quite a resilient muscle -- but I don't know about the mind. It seems to be a creature of another sort.”

When people told me I was so strong for surviving my daughter’s death, I wanted to scream. But the truth is that deep inside we are far more resilient, brave, and incredibly strong for having survived at all. So scream, be brave, and embrace your power. It will become your biggest asset.

“This is a resilient team. We got down, but we got off to a great start (in the second half) and we knew what we wanted to do against these guys, so it was a matter of us executing it. Once we slowed it down a little bit we were able to manage the game. We took control.”

Liberation technology creates wealth, and open-source technology creates wealth. In both instances the 'center of gravity' for dramatic change toward resilience and sustainability is the human brain mass of five billion poor--the one billion rich have failed to 'scale.' The human brain is the one unlimited resource we have on Earth.
