          “My faith demands - this is not optional - my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.”
          ― Jimmy Carter

          It is not about your life. You don't have the right to risk someone else's life. And you don't have the right frankly, to take a health care staff and people who are literally putting their lives on the line, and be cavalier or reckless with them.

          --Gov. Andrew Cuomo on the COVID 19 virus

          --Stephen Hawking

           

          Nothing is more important than empathy for another human being's suffering. Nothing. Not career, not wealth. not intelligence, certainly not status. We have to feel for one another if we are going to survive with dignity.

          --Audrey Hepburn

           

          Sometimes you have to let go of the picture of what you thought life would be like and learn to find joy in the story you are actually living.

          When love is the way, poverty would become history. When love is the way, the earth will be a sanctuary. When love is the way, we will lay our swords and shields by the riverside, to study war no more. When love is the way, there's plenty of room for God's children.

          --Archbishop Michael Curry
