“The world is inviolable: it has no beginning and no end. Those who seek to change it will be changed.”

“Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their peers, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.”

“The world won’t end with a bang.The world won’t end with a whimper.In fact, the world won’t end at all.But it will change and if we refuse to change with it…It will be us that ends.”

“Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end.”

“Christianity's goal is not escape from this world. It loves this world and seeks to change it for the better.”

“When we seek to change others to suit our desires we engage in folly, but when we seek to improve ourselves, as an example to others we can change the world.”
