“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.”
― Steve Brown

“I asked that it should be looked upon, not as a necessary drudgery to be undergone for the purpose of making money, but as a way of life in which the nature of man should find its proper exercise and delight and so fulfill itself to the glory of God.

― Dorothy L. Sayers

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given then to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
