The Wisdom of Others 3

"La sagesse, c'est d'avoir des rêves suffisamment grands pour ne pas les perdre de vue lorsqu'on les poursuit." Oscar Wilde.

"Wisdom is having dreams that are sufficiently big so as not to lose sight of them as we are pursuing them." My own translation because I can't find the original.

This fits in nicely with ONE - the last Vitality Workshop to help churches put their Strategic Ministry Planning projects into place as a healthy, missional church should.

Another piece of wisdom to help Vitality in our churches; goes with "...if your memories are bigger thn your dreams, you have already begun to die", Howard Hendricks. and "those who neglect the past are doomed to repeat it". (Vitality Team Field Guide p 12)

And because I was browsing to find the original quotes, I note these for fun, all from Oscar Wilde :

"Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.” 

 “With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?” 

 “Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”
