“So I want to identify, if I can, the most important thing that we discover in life. At least, it is the most important thing that I have discovered. I will share it with you, like a precious jewel, fit for this occasion. I refer to love. Love for one another. Love for our community. Love for others everywhere in the world. Love transcends even scholarship, cleverness and university degrees. It is greater than pride and wealth. It endures when worldly vanities fade.” IfsWorldWantLoveI CanImportantCommunityWealthGreaterSharePrideFitDegreesImportant ThingsEndureUniversityVanityOccasionsFadesWorldlyJewelsScholarshipOur CommunityClevernessWorld LovePrecious JewelsUniversity Degrees Author:Michael Kirby
