Margaret J. Wheatley, Perseverance p.103
Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible
Saint Francis of Assisi
…to encounter crisis is to encounter the possibility of truly being the church.
Hendrik Kraemer
I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
Clara Barton (Universalist, social reformer, founder of American Red Cross)
