"No organization can depend on genius; the supply is always scarce and unreliable. It is the test of an organization to make ordinary human beings perform better than they seem capable of, to bring out whatever strength there is in its members, and to use each one’s strength to help all the others perform. The purpose of an organization is to enable common people to do uncommon things."

"It is said that love is like a shard of bloodstained glass, all to dangerous to handle and should be left alone. Yet, the more people who pass by that piece without even a second thought of picking it up, the greater the chance that another may harm themselves from the shard. So is it with love. The longer you deny it, the more you will hurt those around you and yourself. Accept it, yet handle it with care, because, as a piece of glass, if you break it once accepting it, it is much harder to clean up."
