"There is much emphasis on notoriety and fame in our society.
Our newspapers and television keep giving us the message:
What counts is to be known, praised, and admired, whether
you are a writer, an actor, a musician, or a politician.
"Still, real greatness is often hidden, humble, simple, and
unobtrusive. It is not easy to trust ourselves and our
actions without public affirmation. We must have strong
self-confidence combined with deep humility. Some of the
greatest works of art and the most important works of peace
were created by people who had no need for the limelight.
They knew that what they were doing was their call, and they
did it with great patience, perseverance, and love."
- Henri Nouwen, _Bread for the Journey_, Entry for February 25
