I have three quotes taped above my desk.  One of them is, "When something
important is going on, silence is a lie." - AM Rosenthal

(The other two are Margaret Mead's "Never doubt that a small group of
thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.  Indeed, it's the only
thing that ever has."  and Flannery O'Connor's "The truth does not change
according to our ability to stomach it.")

(Actually, there's a 4th.  Don't remember the context but it must have had
to do with professional disagreements:  "Hostility needs something to "push"
against, so don't provide it.  BRING FOOD!  Be cheerful, let all the
differences roll over you.  You're all on the same side, as far as the big
picture goes.  That's enough for now.")

(Not a bad thread here:  what do other people have over their desks?)
