For the last two days I have attended a conference put on by John Perkins and Paul Metzger called Drum Majors for Love, Truth and Justice.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from John Perkins…

“To take care of yourself is an addiction, there is more than yourself.”

“We have to lower our hate voice.  We have to come up with a language for love.”

“The reason why you don’t relocate?  You love yourself more than your neighbor.”

“We need a culture of love.”

“Go… live, love, learn, build on what they have.  At the end, you want the people to say they have done it themselves.”

“We must move from charity to development.”

There was much more, but these are the things that are challenging me and my current thought-actions.
