While I was gone fishing last week a number of good quotes came my way via email or by reading. Tonight I would like to share some of them with you before I put them on the Jokes and Quotes web page.

This one struck me as being important for all those who say they cannot make the Freedom March of Breaking the Silence due to a variety of reasons.

“When we have our march, you need to be there. If it means leaving work, if it means leaving school, be there. Be concerned about your brother (and sister). You may not be on strike, but either we go together or we go down together. Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness.” — Martin Luther King Jr., April 3, 1968 (his last speech before he was assassinated.)

I cannot ever get too many quotes on “Loving your enemies”.

“The Lord has shown that we cannot have the good work of perfect love if we only love those from whom in turn we know the return of mutual love will be paid in kind. Hence the Lord wishes us to overcome the common law of human love by the law of Gospel love, so that we may show the affection of our love not only toward those who love us but even toward our enemies…” — St Chromatios of Aquileia [+406/407].

In a time of rapid change it is good to know that we can move faster to perfection.

“To live is to change, to be perfect is to have changed often.” — John Henry Newman who died on the 11th of August 120 years ago
