Soren Kierkegaard: Practice in Christianity, pg. 147
Similarly: “Jesus says, ‘And when I am lifted up from the Earth I shall draw everyone to myself’ as He hangs from His cross with outflung arms, thrown out to clasp all, everyone and everything, in a cosmic embrace, so that all, everyone, everything, belongs. None is an outsider—all are insiders, all belong. There are no aliens—all belong in the one family, God’s family, the human family.”
-Desmond Tutu
Lilla Watson and the Aboriginal activist group in Queensland, Australia, 1970 put forth this quote:
“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come here because your liberation is bound up in mine, then let us work together.”

Rabbi Tarfon teaches: Do not be arrogant; do not think that you alone can finish the job. Trust in your children and generations yet unborn to take up the task. Know that you are part of the living chain of people who have dreamed, worked for a better world, and carried on this mission for four thousand years in an unbroken covenant.
