"Most of the time, the things that really change the world exist for something fundamentally selfish and then the world-changing ends up being a side-effect of that."

Previous Quote

We have real difficulty here because everyone thinks of changing the world, but where, oh where, are those who think of changing themselves? People may genuinely want to be good, but seldom are they prepared to do what it takes to produce the inward life of goodness that can form the soul. Personal formation into the likeness of Christ is arduous and lifelong.

— Richard J. Foster
