This is the true joy in life,
the being used for a purpose
recognized by yourself as a mighty one;
the being force of nature
instead of the feverish little clod of ailments and grievances
complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you
happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community
and as long as I live,
it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die,
for the harder I work the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake.
Life is no brief candle to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold for the
moment,
and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw

"Thank you Jerome,
for me and the millions of others you so
masterfully supported! I assisted in Los Angeles when you were the
director. You constantly inspired me in the vein of true leadership
as only I can imagine it to be at its best. It is through your
guidance and support that I can credit some of my achievements and
always my commitment to serving others."

“How does one
even begin to acknowledge a man who literally stood for, and was the
source of bringing transformation to more than a third of the people
on the planet. Truly Jerome was a gift to "Being Human". We are
saddened when a great man leaves us, but I celebrate his fantastic
stand, and the difference he made. Already the fruits of his labor
are appearing throughout Asia. The Commitment To Transformation that
most distinguished what his life was for, is alive, and stronger
than ever. I give you all my love, and support.”

“Words just don't make it here. I took just
about every one of Jerome's seminars. He was my Landmark Forum
leader as well. I still quote him. Please pass my love to his
family. He will forever be present in my life. With love. Namaste”

"My dear Han,
words cannot express the profound sadness and loss I felt upon
knowing of the passing of Jerome. He was such an amazing human
being. Now he is an amazing spirit looking and smiling down on all
of us, and coaching us from the other dimension. It is a deep honor
to have assisted with him at the first-ever
Landmark Forums in Manila and
Hong Kong.
Please accept my heart felt condolence, Han. Know that I am thinking of
you, and keeping you, and Jerome's family and loved ones and Landmark
family in my prayers. He will live in our hearts forever. I embrace
you all with much love,"

“I knew
Jerome when he was a Center Manager in Berkeley/Oakland, CA in 1977.
I was 20 then.
Those were my formative years. He was an extraordinary role model
for me. In the more than 30 years since I've known him not a day has
gone by that I don't think of him. They are not just thoughts when I
think of him. Every day they are powerful distinctions. I know his
work was sourced by Werner but for me he is who made the work real
for me. I am the person I am because of Jerome Downes. I am the
person that I am because of the profound difference he made in my
life over three decades ago. I am very saddened by his passing.”

"Jerome,
thank you for who you were for me and for the entire human race. You
were my first Landmark Forum Leader and freed me from my own mind
which enabled me to live a miraculous life…a life full of
possibilities. Thank you for the transformation and the inspiration.
I will always cherish the times I was able to serve you and your
family as your leader support, assistant, and staff."

“Each time
Jerome spoke, he created a future for the world. It was a privilege
to have known and worked with him. He lives forever in our
experience of him and the tens of thousands of lives he touched. He
didn’t just lead the Landmark Forum. He was the embodiment of the
Landmark Forum.”
