“There is great freedom in not caring about authority or being great or big. We don't have to be nice to everybody, go in boring cocktail parties, or swagger while pretending to be better than we are. In fact, the best dancers don't care if they dance well, the best singers don't obsess over the right notes, and the best Christians don't care if they're the best . . . because they know they aren't. And those are the very Christians who change the world.”

“Dreamers dream about things being different. Visionaries envision themselves making a difference. Dreamers think about how nice it would be for something to be done. Visionaries look for an opportunity to do something.”
