COMMON GROUND
Quotes
At the heart of each of us, whatever our imperfections, there exists a silent pulse of perfect rhythm, which is absolutely individual and unique, and yet which connects us to everything else.
Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.
What we have to do... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.
We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.
What life have you if you have not life together?
There is no life that is not in community.
