"I hate quotes tell me what you know." From Emerson

Well, I love quotes; especially from Emerson. However, on this page I will add a personal, quotable statement from time-to-time. For better or worse, the following are original.

From C. Jack Orr

"We will shed the illusions that protect us, when they become more painful than the realities we fear." 

"Communication is simple in concept, but demanding in practice - until you begin to do it very well." 

"It is our plight and passion to live amid ambiguity."

"In emergence we trust." (My philosophy for how to approch group dynamics) 

"You have a front row seat to your life."

"Seek only imperfect solutions."

"After we know all that we can possibly know, the real work of learning begins: wisdom, application and faith."
