More on Purpose
“When goals go, meaning goes. When meaning goes, purpose goes. When purpose goes, life goes dead on our hands.”
“We came to America, either ourselves or in the persons of our ancestors, to better the ideals of men, to make them see finer things than they had seen before, to get rid of the things that divide and to make sure of the things that unite.”
“The honorary duty of a human being is to love.”
More on Action
“You must be bold, brave, and courageous and find a way... to get in the way.”
“Success is the doing, not the getting - in the trying, not the triumph.”
“As any change must begin somewhere, it is the single individual who will experience it and carry it through. The change must indeed begin with an individual; it might be any one of us. Nobody can afford to look round and to wait for somebody else to do what he is loath to do himself.”
