Good quotes.

"Go to the people. Learn from them, live with them. Love them. Start with what they know. Build on what they have. The best of leaders are those when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say, 'We have done it ourselves.' " (Lao Tse)

"The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out."
"Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." (both quotes from Fellowship of the Ring)

"The Christian way is different...Christ says, 'Give me all. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You...No half-measures are any good.' " (CS Lewis)

Rendezvous book, day 18
"We serve and minister because: We genuinely care about people; We see people as God sees them; We really love others; We want justice in our world; God's love for us must flow forth in love for others."
