Keeping the Dream

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.

Proverb: China

Civil disobedience, that’s not our problem. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.

~ Howard Zinn

The world needs dreamers, and the world needs doers, but most of all the world needs dreamers who do.

~Sarah Ban Breathnach

Sometimes miracles aren’t about parting the waters, but just not getting your feet wet.

Do all you can with what you have, in the time you have, in the place you are.
