Citv of Fort Collins
WHEREAS, wisdom is a critical personal quality needed for lasting success; and
WHEREAS, we desire to build upon our heritage and make Fort Collins a place where
families are strong, homes and streets are safe, education is effective, business is productive,
neighbors care about one another, and citizens are free to make wise choices for their lives and
families; and
WHEREAS, we recognize that the health of this community depends upon all of our
citizens being able to endure in their activities and their associations; and
WHEREAS, the tranquility and orderly operation and development of our City demand
that we implement the key concept of wisdom: gaining understanding by observing the world
around us; seeking good advice from those who know; learning from the experiences and
mistakes of the past; carefully choosing friends from those with similar attitudes and values;
applying those things we learn by following principles of good character in all situations; and,
WHEREAS, by following these suggestions, we as citizens individually and collectively
can improve the quality of our products and the efficiency of our services, can focus our efforts
on achieving our goals, can provide our community with an improving competitive edge, and
can find new avenues for enriching our lives as we move boldly yet patiently into our developing
future,
