Quotes that embody the essence of PD:

"Learn from the people
Plan with the people
Begin with what they have
Build on what they know
Of the best leaders
When the task is accomplished
The people all remark
We have done it ourselves."

~Lao-Tzu Tao Te Ching


 

"We dance around in a circle and suppose while the truth sits in the middle and knows."

~Robert Frost
