We need each other differently now.  We cannot hide behind our boundaries or hold onto the belief that we can survive alone.  We need each other to test out ideas, to share what we’re learning, to help us see in new ways, to listen to our stories…to offer hope when we’ve lost our own.

Margaret Wheatley, author, Leadership and the New Science

When your ship, long moored in the harbor, gives you the illusion of being a house, put out to sea!  Save your boat’s journeying soul and your own pilgrim soul, cost what it may.

Dom Helder Camrara, the “tiny prophet” of Brazil

We cannot do everything and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something and to do it very well. It may be incomplete but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for God’s grace to enter and do the rest.

Archbishop Oscar Romero 

It is very dangerous to go into eternity with possibilities which one has oneself prevented from becoming realities.  A possibility is a hint from God.  One must follow it.  In everyone there is latent the highest possibility, one must follow it. 

Soren Kierkegaard, theologian and existential philosopher
