2. What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries?… In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about? -Maurice Strong
3. A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other. -Simon Sinek
4. A group experience takes place on a lower level of consciousness than the experience of an individual. This is due to the fact that, when many people gather together to share one common emotion, the total psyche emerging from the group is below the level of the individual psyche. If it is a very large group, the collective psyche will be more like the psyche of an animal, which is the reason why the ethical attitude of large organizations is always doubtful. The psychology of a large crowd inevitably sinks to the level of mob psychology. If, therefore, I have a so-called collective experience as a member of a group, it takes place on a lower level of consciousness than if I had the experience by myself alone. -C.G. Jung
5. Don’t do for a group what a group can do for itself. -Emily M. Axelrod
6. Nothing truly valuable can be achieved except by the unselfish cooperation of many individuals. -Albert Einstein
7. When you get together in a group, it becomes like a family, with the different personalities and the politics that comes with being in a band. It’s different than bringing something in by yourself. -Albert Hammond, Jr.
8. Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. -Vince Lombardi
9. It’s always inspiring when people all come together and be strong as a group. This is why I feel so strongly to put the message to people that we need to stand together in tough times. -Anne-Marie
10. A successful team is a group of many hands and one mind. -Bill Bethel
11. Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. -H. P. Lovecraft
12. The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team. -Phil Jackson
13. A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skills of others. -Norman Shidle
14. Teams share the burden and divide the grief. -Doug Smith
15. A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. -Margaret Mead
16. Oppressed groups are frequently placed in the situation of being listened to only if we frame our ideas in the language that is familiar to and comfortable for a dominant group. This requirement often changes the meaning of our ideas and works to elevate the ideas of dominant groups. -Patricia Hill Collins
17. Group action – yes; group thinking – no -Norman Lamm
18. Don’t let the actions of a few determine the way you feel about an entire group. Remember, not all German’s were Nazis. -Erin Gruwell
19. A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate. -Seth Godin
20. Defy your own group. Rebel against yourself. -Cathy Guisewite
21. The only way to maximize group creativity—to make the whole more than the sum of its parts—is to encourage a candid discussion of mistakes. In part, this is because the acceptance of error reduces cost. When you believe your flaws will be quickly corrected by the group, you’re less worried about perfecting your contribution, which leads to a more candid conversation. We can only get it right when we talk about what we got wrong -Jonah Lehrer
22. Someone who hates one group will end up hating everyone – and, ultimately, hating himself or herself. -Elie Wiesel

25. Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. -Helen Keller
