Love fosters a “Community of Freedom”

we are fundamentally free:
free to view our life,
and respond to it,
as a loving gift
or not.

To love or not to love, that is the question. No argument or evidence can strip us of this freedom that lies at the root of our being and is therefore so ineradicable. How we choose to respond to this awareness—the awareness that love makes us whole and that we are free to love or not—seals our character and defines who we are. An awareness of the power of love and forgiveness forms, in John Fetzer’s phrase, “a community of freedom.”


How we choose, in that freedom, to live out our awareness of the power to love and forgive can completely transform our lives as well as the life of, and the lives in, the world around us.


–Lawrence E. Sullivan
Pres. and CEO

Progress




The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

–George Bernard Shaw




Now Thyself


Mel Brooks

What we should do is not future ourselves so much. We should now ourselves more.

Now thyself is more important than Know thyself.

Reason is what tells us to ignore the present and live in the future. So all we do is make plans. We think that somewhere there are going to be greener pastures. It’s crazy. Heaven is nothing but a grand, monumental instance of the future. Listen, now is good. Now is wonderful.

Mel Brooks



Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.

Søren Kierkegaard

I have been posting fewer and fewer tweets because they have been producing fewer and fewer responses. Has Twitter jumped the shark?

Press On

Calvin CoolidgeNothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.

The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

–Calvin Coolidge
President of the USA
1923-1929
