Thanks for the suggestion, Pam. Some quotes... (many WOMEN in this book!)
**Section on Peace Within & Without:
"Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious." (Rumi)
"The sense of play is so important. I mean, God plays! Creation plays! And who are we humans to get all tied up in knots and not get in there and play?!" (Elise Boulding)
"Love everybody and don't let flags and religions get in the way of looking somebody in the eye and seeing the beauty of the human person." (Mairedd Corrigan Maguire)
**Section on Hope, Faith & Courage
"When you learn, teach. When you get, give." (Maya Angelou)
"What's de good of strong arms when de heart is a coward's"? (Sarah Josepha Hale)
"People often disparage their [charitable] efforts as mere 'drops in the bucket.' Yet drops fill up a bucket quite fast--as long as there is a bucket!" (Francis Moore Lappe)
