"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief... You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it."
It's a Jewish sentiment, I believe. That a good person is healing a sick world, sick people, one act of charity or empathy or valor at a time.
We are not free to abandon our work, but neither are we obligated to finish it. In my case, at least, it would take more time than an average lifespan.
