“There are people in every life who have an intensity and an interest in who you are. They show up at odd times, and if you’re wise, you learn from them. If I’ve achieved anything, it’s because I learned to look for and recognize these people who are like beacons of light. And it’s true on a larger scale as well. In times of great stress in society, it’s the ordinary people who become great teachers. Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, and Mother Teresa were all common people who rose up to give great hope to others.”
-- James P. Owen
