Quotes
A man who is not honored with his own people is like a lamp that is not lit.
I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be 'happy.' I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter and to be made to matter. To be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
