HOW WE STAY AFLOAT -
"We must live and
work together as a
group to ensure that in
a storm our ship does not
sink and our members do not
perish. With faith in a Pow-
er greater than ourselves,
hard work, and unity we
will survive ... ." (The
Basic Text, p.
63)
ENJOY THE FREEDOM OF INTERDEPENDENCE -
"Our whole treasured philosophy of self-sufficiency had to be cast aside. This had not been done with old-fashioned willpower; it was instead matter of developing the willingness to accept these new facts of living. We neither ran nor fought. But accept we did. And then we were free." (Best of the Grapevine, p. 198)
" We have
flown the air like
birds and swum the
sea like fishes, but have
yet to learn the simple
act of walking the
earth like bro-
thers."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 - 1968) U.S. civil rights leader
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
