“I fear that all I have done is awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.” ~ Admiral Yamamoto after the Pearl Harbor attack, December 7, 1941
"Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society." ~ Henry Bolingbroke
"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." ~ Mother Teresa
This is longer than many
other quotes, but it was read at a school assembly today, and it really
touched me:
"People are often unreasonable, illogical,
and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of
selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false
friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could
destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often
forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may
never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between
you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway." ~ Mother Teresa
