Michael Josephson Commentary

There is a stigma attached to being in crisis. But I say let’s admit that none of us have it together.
– Ronit Herzfeld, therapist, social activist
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 brothers.
– Martin Luther King, Jr., civil-rights activist, minister (1929-1968)
It is not in the still calm of life or the repose of a pacific station that great characters are formed. Great necessities call out great virtues.
– Abigail Adams, second First Lady (1744-1818)
Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It’s not what they’re not doing or should be doing that’s the issue. The issue is your response to the situation and what you should be doing.
– Stephen R. Covey, author, speaker
Every day, ordinary people prove that cynicism is a deplorable lie. Stories of courage, heroism, self-sacrifice, and compassion inspire and elevate us because they confirm our extraordinary capacity for nobility.
– Michael Josephson
