James Rebanks
“The truth is, a farm swallows you up, takes everything you have, and then asks for more. It is also an exercise in humility: you can’t do it alone.”
James Rebanks, Pastoral Song

Russ Ramsey
“We live in communities that need goodness, truth, and beauty. And we play a role in advancing those transcendentals that make us human. We are to curate them for others. We play a role in blowing on the embers of "whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable.”
Russ Ramsey, Rembrandt is in the Wind: Learning to Love Art through the Eyes of Faith

Sigrid Undset
“Dear sister—all other love is merely a reflection of the heavens in the puddles of a muddy road. You will become sullied too if you allow yourself to sink into it. But if you always remember that it’s a reflection of the light from that other home, then you will rejoice at its beauty and take good care that you do not destroy it by churning up the mire at the bottom.”
Sigrid Undset, Kristin Lavransdatter

Robert Morgan
“As I scrubbed the floor I was scrubbing part of the world. And I was scrubbing my mind to make it clear. It was work that made me think clear, and it was work that made me humble. I could never talk fast, and I could never say what I meant to people, or tell them what they meant to me. My tongue was loosened by my feelings. It was with my hands and with my back and shoulders that I could say how I felt. I had to talk with my arms and my strong hands.”
Robert Morgan, Gap Creek

Elizabeth Coatsworth
“He used to tell me when Mr. Boswell asked Dr. Johnson which was the greatest of the virtues, he answered unhesitatingly, ‘Courage,’ and when Mr. Boswell asked him why, he said, ‘Because, sir, without courage, one will have little opportunity to practice the other virtues.”
Elizabeth Coatsworth, Here I Stay
