"Whence do you come?"   "From the East."  "Whither are you wending?"   "To the West."   "What is your inducement?"   "To find that which is lost."   "Where do you hope to find it?"   "In the centre."	If there is light in the soul, There will be beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, There will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, There will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world.	“All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."	If thou couldst empty all thyself of self, he says.  Like to a shell dishabited,  Then might He find thee on the ocean shelf  And say, 'This is not dead' -  And fill thee with Himself instead.  But thou art all replete with very 'thou'   And hast such shrewd activity,  That when He comes, He says, 'This is enow,   Unto itself, 'tis better let it be.  It is so small and full,  There is no room for Me!	In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.	I’m not very good At this Game called LifeFor I’ve not learned to see children cryingWithout feeling painFor I’ve not learned to watch animals destroyedWithout wondering whyFor I’ve not yet met a king or a celebrity That I would bow down toOr a man so insignificant That I would use for a stepping-stone For I’ve not learned to be a ‘yes man’ To narrow minded bosses Who quote rules without reason And I’ve not learned to manipulate The feelings of others To be used for my own advantages Then cast aside as I see fit No, I’m not very good At this Game called Life And if everything goes well Maybe I never will be.”
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."	"Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are?     We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children."	I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.	Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them...he cried, "Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?"...God said, "I did do something. I made you."	Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.	"There are only two ways of spreading light - to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."
"If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give."	Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.	A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."	A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.	I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something I can do.	Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up.
