If being wealthy is taken to mean having the means to satisfy one's every want, all but the very poor can become rich as thou at a single stroke of a magician's wand, simply by ceasing to want more than is really necessary for sustaining life. By being content with little and not giving a rap for what the neighbours [sic.] think, one can attain a very large measure of freedom, shedding care and worry in a trice. What is a minority? The chosen heroes of this earth have been in a minority. There is not a social, political, or religious privilege that you enjoy today that was not bought for you by the blood and tears and patient suffering of the minority. It is the minority that have stood in the van of every moral conflict, and achieved all that is noble in the history of the world. Set your expectations high; find men and women whose integrity and values you respect; get their agreement on a course of action; and give them your ultimate trust. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simply passing the time. Action with Vision is making a positive difference. Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of they affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue. I know this now. Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing yet they give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. And then it is gone. But to sacrifice what you are and live without belief, that's more terrible than dying. Courageous risks are life-giving, they help you grow, make you brave, and better than you think you are. You love the first person who ever touches you and never love anyone quite that way again. |
