"The place you are called to is where
your deep gladness meets the world's great hunger."
Frederick Buechner
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can... Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can..."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"In a controversy, the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for truth and have begun striving for ourselves."
Abraham Joshua Heschel
"An enemy is one whose story we have not heard."
Gene Knudsen-Hoffman
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.
It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction."
Albert Einstein
"A group of monks once asked their Zen master how it was that he was always able to feel compassion for other people.
His response: What 'other' people?"
