Words We Want
To the extent that we prosper and benefit from the advantages that some have blessed us with, we owe like aide to others, at least as much as we have been given, and more if we mean to increase the world’s stock of goodness.

"Mistrust your zeal for doing good to others."
-- Abbe Huvelin |

"One day, years from now, if the planet is still inhabited by frail humanity, few if any will remember you. Your life is but a grain of sand on a beach of time. So live! Read what you have written. Listen to wonderful music. Remind yourself often of your goals. Say, "I have been hurt, and I’m going to be hurt by others in the future in all probability, but one thing is certain - either I can live, or fail to do so. I can grab life by the throat and move passionately, or I can be a prisoner to fear of the future and regret from the past. I can make it happen right now, even as I feel my pain, or I can yield to anxiety.""

How Do You Live a "Life of Value?"
The incredible thinker Albert Einstein spoke about values when he said: “Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.” The great spirit Mohandas Gandhi also spoke of meaning in life with his famous phrase: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” And the wonderful woman Helen Keller noted that “the only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”
There are thousands of superb quotations and proverbs about values and ethics that can be helpful and inspiring to each of us.
