“I, Tivadar Kosztka, who gave up his prime of youth for the rebirth of the world, accepting the call of the invisible Spirit, had a regular civil job, comfort, wealth then... Going to Paris in 1907 I oppositely standed alone in front of millions with only the result of the divine providence, and I beat the vanity of the world hollow, but I haven't killed 10 million people, only sobered them. I haven't made commercials from things, because I didn't care for the pedlar's press; I retired from the world instead, going to the top of the Lebanons, and I painted cedars.” PeopleWorldMadeCareJobsSpiritWealthResultsAcceptingMillionsFrontsHavensYouthDivineComfortBeatsPressesInvisibleVanityParisPrimeProvidenceRebirthRetiredHollowGave UpLebanonDivine ProvidenceCedars Author:Tivadar Kosztka Csontvary

“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.
