Nothing of any consequence happens unless people get behind an idea. It begins with an individual and they share the idea with more individuals-and eventually it becomes a movement.
Interpretation
Ideas require collective support to create meaningful change.
Christopher Reeve emphasizes that significant changes and movements begin with a single person's idea, but it is the support and collaboration of others that transforms this idea into something impactful. It highlights the importance of community and collective action in achieving great goals.
In practice
In a team meeting when discussing a new project, this quote can inspire members to collaborate on bringing their ideas to life.
I think we all have a little voice inside us that will guide us. It may be God, I don't know. But I think that if we shut out all the noise and clutter from our lives and listen to that voice, it will tell us the right thing to do.
Either you vegetate and look out a window, or activate and try to effect change.

Success is not about money and power. Real success is about relationships. There's no point in making $50 million a year if your teenager thinks you're a jerk and you spend no time with your wife.
We live in a time when the words impossible and unsolvable are no longer part of the scientific community's vocabulary. Each day we move closer to trials that will not just minimize the symptoms of disease and injury but eliminate them.
The key to success is letting the relationships in your life grow to the highest levels they possibly can . . . not putting yourself first in life and remembering that the more you give away, the more you have.
Astonishingly, at some point, a sputtering torch was thrust into her hands. Alma did not see who gave it to her. She had never before been entrusted with fire.

Nobody stopped her. She was a comet. She did not know that she was not flying.
Don't hide yourself in regret, _x000D_ Just love yourself and you're set _x000D_ I'm on the right track, baby _x000D_ I was born this way
When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head!
When I was a young man I heard Henry Barley say that the world has yet to see what God can do for a man fully yielded to Him, and I said I wanted to be that man. But I can say today the world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully yielded to Him.
I look at my own body _x000D_ With eyes no longer blind- _x000D_ And I see that my own hands can make _x000D_ The world that's in my mind.
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun. There is always a bright side - even if only that it is not worse...and it can always be worse
