If our lives have become shallow, Deepen them. If our principles have become shabby, Repair them. If our ideals have become tarnished, Restore them. If our hopes have become faded, Revive them. If our loyalties have grown dim, Brighten them. If our values have become confused, Clarify them. If our purposes have grown blurred, Sharpen them. If our horizons have become contracted, Widen them.
Sidney Greenberg

Dignity does not consist in processing honors, but in deserving them. Aristotle
To look is one thing. To see what you look at is another. To understand what you see is third. To learn from what you understand is something else. But to act on what you learn is all that really matters.

We must not hope to be mowers,
And to gather the ripe gold ears,
Unless we have first been sowers
And watered the furrows with tears.
It is not just as we take it,
This mystical world of ours,
Life's field will yield as we make it
A harvest of thorns or of flowers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

THE BEST OF THE BARGAIN
Are you seeking the best of the bargain? Here's a rule that has never failed yet: In all that you do you will prosper If you try to give more than you get.
It's the good will that lends to your service All the grace of a gift, not a doubt... Just the bit of yourself which is added When you try to give more than you get.
For life's measure, heaped full, running over, Can to no one bring loss or regret, And it's always the best of the bargain To folks who give more than they get.
