Stories don't give answers, but they do offer perspective.

Courage never takes away fear; courage simply redistributes fear to get the job done.

Bold love is courageously setting aside our personal agenda to move humbly into the world of others with their well-being in view, willing to risk further pain in our souls, in order to be an aroma of life to some and an aroma of death to others.

Idealism may get us into the fray, but it is the loss of all we cherish that begins to form in us a heart capable of leading others reluctantly and humbly.

To dream alone is fantasy if it doesn't move the heart to act.

For most leaders, humility comes only by wounds suffered from foolish falls.
