Vision is not enough; it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps. We must step up the stairs.
Vaclav Havel
Be the change you want to see in the world Gandhi
Some men see things as they are and ask 'why' ? Others dream of things that never were and ask 'why not' ?
George Bernard Shaw
Common folk, not statesmen, nor generals nor great men of affairs, but just simple plain men and women, can do something to build a better, peaceful world. The future hope of peace lies with such personal …. service.
Henry Cadbury accepting Nobel Peace Prize
Vision without action is merely a dream, action without vision just passes the time, vision with action can change the world.
Joel Barker
An avalanche begins with a snowflake
Joseph D Compton
Some believe there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous army of the world's ills - against misery, against ignorance, or injustice and violence. Yet many of the world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single person.
R.F. Kennedy
Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes - goodwill among men and peace on earth.
Albert Einstein
I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
Helen Keller
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, and magic and power in it.
Begin it now.
Goethe
Whether in times of war or times of peace the Quaker is under peculiar obligation to assist and to forward movements and forces which make for peace in the world and which bind men together in ties of unity and fellowship.
Rufus Jones
There must be amidst all the confusions of the hour a tried and undisturbed remnant of people who will not become purveyors of coercion and violence who are willing to stand alone if it is necessary for the way of peace and love among men
Rufus Jones
They say my work is just a drop in the ocean. I say the ocean is made up of drops.
Mother Theresa
Vision is the art of seeing the invisible
Swift
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give
Winston Churchill
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost, that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.
Henry David Thoreau
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
Henry David Thoreau
Once for all, you must not worry about your success or failure. It does not concern you. Your duty is to work each day, quietly, to accept the failures which are inevitable and to leave to others the care of measuring the applause.
Ralph W. Emerson
At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done
Then they begin to hope it can be done
Then they see it can be done
Then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago
Frances Hodgson Burnett
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are ?
Satchel Paige
….so in the light walking and abiding…..
early Quakers
……taking up the burden of the world's suffering…….
George Fox
First man: sometimes I'd like to ask God why he allows poverty, famine and injustice to continue when he could do something about it'.
Second man: what's stopping you ?
First man: I'm afraid he might ask me the same question
Anon
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die - for the harder I work, the more I live.
George Bernard Shaw
Vision without action is daydream. Action without vision is nightmare.
Japanese proverb
If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work; but, rather, teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
Anon
To the person who does not know where he wants to go, there is no favourable wind
Seneca
The dreamers are the saviours of the world
James Allen
We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes but we have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers
Martin Luther King
Outstanding people have one thing in common; an absolute sense of mission
Zig Ziglar
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it but that our aim is too low and we reach it
Anon
So long as space remains,
So long as sentient beings remain,
I will remain,
In order to help, in order to serve,
In order to make my contribution.
From 'The Open Heart' by the Dalai Lama
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
James Allen
There are three kinds of people; one who watches things happen, one who makes things happen and one who says 'what happened ?'
Anon
The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, this you will become
James Allen
The world is for those who make their dreams come true
Harold Gray
Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you're alive, it isn't.
Richard Bach
Looking up gives light, but at first it makes you dizzy.
Rumi
Yes, I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can find his way by moonlight, and see the dawn before the rest of the world.
Oscar Wilde
Such is the power of love in gentle mind,
That it can alter all the course of kind.
Edmund Spenser
The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the biggest shrub of all and becomes a tree so that the birds of the air come and shelter in its branches.
Matthew, ch. 13, v. 31-32
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Thomas Edison
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson
Meditation is something entirely different from what your books and your gurus have taught you. Meditation is the process of understanding your own mind.
Jeddu Krishnamurthi
You are the co-creator of your reality, what you think you will indeed create.
