Completion

The recognition that no knowledge can be complete, no
metaphor entire, is itself humanizing. It counteracts fanaticism.
It grants even to adversaries the possibility of partial truth,
and to oneself the possibility of error.

- Alvin Toffler

In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good
we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.

- Flora Edwards

Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in
itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it
is none the worse nor the better for being praised.

- Marcus Aurelius, 121 - 180

When our eyes see our hands doing the work of our hearts,
the circle of Creation is completed inside us, the doors of
our souls fly open and love steps forth to heal everything
in sight.

- Michael Bridge

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore
we must be saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful makes
complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore
we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous,
can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love.

- Reinhold Niebuhr, 1892 - 1971
