Three Encouraging Quotes
“Do not be daunted by the enormity of
the world's grief.
Do justly, now. Love mercy,
now. Walk humbly, now.
You are not obligated to complete the
work,
but neither are you free to abandon it.”
but neither are you free to abandon it.”
—Rabbi Rami Shapiro, Wisdom
of the Jewish Sages of Rabbi Tarfon, paraphrase of Micah 6:8 and Babylonian
Talmud, Pirke Aboth, 2:11-16
“Fare not well, but fare forward!”
—Krishna
to Arjuna on the Field of Battle, Bhagavad-Gita.
“This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness; not health, but healing; not being, but becoming; not rest, but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it. The process is not yet finished, but it is going on. This is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.”
—Martin Luther, in his
“Defense and Explanation of All Articles,” reply to Pope Leo X’s Bull
condemning Luther, Exsurge Domine.
