QUOTES

Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed.

Cynicism is a buffer against commitment.

The Bible says that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. I think of it this way: Faith is believing in spite of the evidence and then watching the evidence change.

Career’s are what people have to get what they want for themselves. In a Vocation you discover your gift. And a Vocation is where your gift meets the crushing needs of the world.

Politians wet their fingers and see which way the wind is blowing at the time. You don’t change a nation by changing wet fingers. Nations are changed by changing the direction of the wind.

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

What changes History is not politicians, but social movements.

There's a moral convergence happening among religious leaders on the issue of poverty

We can find common ground only by moving to higher ground.
