Because every year I find out more about him, and I understand more about who he was, and what a great mind and heart he had.

In my opinion, probably the wisest and most sincere major "leader" of the 20th century, although I suspect that he would cringe if he read that.

“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”


“Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.”


“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”


“We must learn to live together as brothers, or perish together as fools.”
