A Good Character is the Best Tombstone

A good character is the best tombstone.
Those who loved you and were helped by you will
remember you when forget-me-nots have withered.
Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.

Charles H. Spurgeon

The Power of Love

When the power of love overcomes the love of power,
the world will know peace.

The World Boils Down To Two Types of People

I think the world really boils down to two types of people -
those who see shapes in cloud formations, and those who just see clouds.

If You've Never Stared Off In The Distance

If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame.

There May Be Times When We Are Powerless

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, 
but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

What We Shall Do

This is what you shall do:
love the earth and sun, and animals,
despise riches, give alms to every one that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others,
hate tyrants, argue not concerning God.

Have patience and indulgence towards the people,
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
or to any man or number of men;
go freely with the powerful uneducated persons,
and with the young, and mothers, of families:
read these leaves in the open air every season
of every year of your life:
lt is your soul.

Walt Whitman
