I Meant What They Said

Sometimes the words of others are exactly what we want to say. Here are some of my favorites...

"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear."
- Rosa Parks

"It takes no compromise to give people their rights...it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression.
- Harvey Milk

"Conscience is the perfect interpreter of life."
- Karl Barth

"The time is always right to do what is right."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

I'd love to hear from you.

No Excuses.

Do Nothing

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing."

- Edmund Burke

Have you seen anything that troubles you lately? An employee being treated unfairly by a powerful leader? Maybe you overheard an innuendo that you know makes an employee uncomfortable? What about a colleague being overwhelmed with their workload and you realize you can step in and help with your team?

Did you do anything about it; or, was it easier to just keep your head down and stay quiet?

I'd love to hear from you.

No Excuses.
