One of the great movements in my lifetime among educated people is the need to commit themselves to action. Most people are not satisfied with giving money; we also feel we need to work. That is why there is an enormous surge in the number of unpaid staff, volunteers. The needs are not going to go away. Business is not going to take up the slack, and government cannot.

Additional quotes by Peter Drucker

It is, above all, fruitless and a waste of time to worry about what is acceptable and what one had better not say so as not to evoke resistance. The things one worries about never happen. And objections and difficulties no one thought about suddenly turn out to be almost insurmountable obstacles. One gains nothing, in other words, by starting out with the question “What is acceptable?” And in the process of answering it, one loses any chance to come up with an effective, let alone with the right, answer.

Hay pocas relaciones que abarquen toda la persona de un hombre como lo hace su relación con su trabajo. Según nos informa el Génesis, el trabajo no estaba en la naturaleza original del hombre. Pero se incluyó poco después: “Ganarás el pan con el sudor de tu frente” fue tanto el castigo de Dios por la caída de Adán como su don y su bendición para hacer soportable y significativa la vida del hombre en su estado posterior a la caída. Las únicas relaciones del hombre anteriores a la que tiene con su trabajo son sus relaciones con su Creador y con su familia; y sólo ellas son más fundamentales. Y junto con ellas, la relación del hombre con su trabajo constituye la base de su vida y sus realizaciones, su sociedad civil, sus artes, su historia. (página: 345)
