32. If each note of music were to say; One note does not make a symphony, There would be no symphony. If each word were to say; One word does not make a book, There would be no book. If each drop of water were to say; One drop does not make an ocean, There would be no ocean. If each seed were to say; One grain does not make a field of corn, There would be no harvest. If each of us were to say; One act of love cannot save mankind There would never be justice and peace on earth. Begin now, why are you waiting? Michel Quoist
