All social change begins with a conversation.

Determination, energy, and courage appear spontaneously when we care deeply about something. We take risks that are unimaginable in any other context.

There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.

Organizations are now confronted with two sources of change: the traditional type that is initiated and managed; and external changes over which no one has control.

The future cannot be determined. It can only be experienced as it occurring. Life doesn't know what it will be until it notices what it has become.

Thinking is the place where intelligent actions begin. We pause long enough to look more carefully at a situation, to see more of its character, to think about why it's happening, to notice how it's affecting us and others

Ask what's possible, not what's wrong. Keep asking.
