"As a nation we're rich in many things, but perhaps our greatest wealth lies in the talent, the character and idealism of the millions of people who make their communities work. Everyone - however rich or poor - has time to give... Let us give generously, in the two currencies of time and money."
Tony Blair, 2 March 2000

"Market economics values what is scarce - not the real work of society, which is caring, loving, being a citizen, a neighbour and a human being. That work will, I hope, never be so scarce that the market value goes high, so we have to find a way of rewarding contributions to it."
Edgar Cahn, Time Dollars
