My favorite quote for years now is from the Italian activist, Danilo Dolci.

"There are moments when things go well and one feels encouraged. There are difficult moments and one feels overwhelmed. But it's senseless to speak of optimism or pessimism. The only important thing is to know that if one works well in a potato field, the potatoes will grow. If one works well among men, they will grow - that's reality. The rest is smoke. It's important to know that words don't move mountains. Work, exactly work, moves mountains."

- Danilo Dolci
