“The main reason for civilization is that life is more comfortable. In a way, houses are there to protect us from rain, cold, and heat; cars are there to overcome distances. Culture is the exception.

They're not about comfort; they're about understanding each other.” WayArtDifferentReasonLife IsCultureHouseUnderstandingCarExpressionColdComfortCivilizationProtectComfortableRainOvercomingDistanceHeatExceptionUnderstanding Each Other Author:Pipilotti Rist

“Each of us can be a leader. We need to remember that the mantle of leadership is not the cloak of comfort, but the robe of responsibility. Perhaps our service is to youth. If so, I caution: 'Youth needs fewer critics and more models.' One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of a car we drove, what kind of a house we lived in, how much we had in the bank account, nor what our clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because we were important in the life of a boy or a girl.” IfsWorldNeedsYearsKindMayLittlesImportantMatterRememberGirlHouseResponsibilityLeaderBoysCarYouthComfortClothesModelsHundredAccountsCriticsFewerCautionCloaksRobesBank Accounts Author:Thomas S.

“When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want? Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car?

“Earlier in my life I thought the things that mattered were the things that you could see, like your car, your house, your wealth, your property, your office. But as I've grown older I've become convinced that the things that matter most are the things that you can't see -- the love you share with others, your inner purpose, your comfort with who you are.” MatterPurposeHouseWealthShareLove YouCarComfortOfficeWho You ArePropertyConvincedThings That Matter Author:Jimmy Carter
