Jesus, my feet are dusty and dirty. Pour water into a basin and come and wash my feet, as you washed the feet of the apostles at the Last Supper. I realize that I am terribly bold in asking you to do this. But I fear the warning you gave to Peter when you said to him, "if I do not wash your feet, you cannot have companionship with me." Wash my feet, then, Jesus, because I do want your companionship - more than anything else in this world. - Origen
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lots of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest wall of oppression and resistance - Robert Kennedy.
There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest it - Elie Wiesel.
