“Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men. A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart. He only earns his freedom and his life who takes them every day by storm.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1978). “Goethe’s Faust: An abridged version”

“I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person humanized or de-humanized.”— Goethe

“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.” —BISHOP DESMOND TUTU
