"Settle all things, both great and small, by consultation. Without prior consultation, take no important step in your own personal affairs. Concern yourselves with one another. Help along one another's projects and plans. Grieve over one another. Let none in the whole country go in need. Befriend one another until ye become as a single body, one and all...."

('Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i Writings)

"In our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations."

(The Great Law of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy)
