“Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends -- honesty and hard work, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism -- these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded, then, is a return to these truths.” MayHas BeensHardPlayValuesForceChallengesProgressHonestyHard WorkDependsReturnQuietFairsInstrumentsCuriosityLoyaltyToleranceInaugurationInauguralFair Play Author:Barack Obama

“The garden [of Eden] is the realm of pure beauty from which man is expelled when he becomes interested in ethics, in the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

“If a man has a sense of identity that does not depend on being shored up by someone else, it cannot be eroded by someone else. If a woman has a sense of identity that does not depend on finding that identity in someone else, she cannot lose her identity in someone else. And so we return to the central fact: it is necessary to be.” IfsMenDoeFactsLosesIdentityDependsReturnFindings Book:Advice from a Failure Source: Advice from a Failure
“While ants exist in just the right numbers for the rest of the living world, humans have become too numerous. If we were to vanish today, the land environment would return to the fertile balance that existed before the human population explosion. Only a dozen or so species, among which are the crab louse and a mite that lives in the oil glands of our foreheads, depend on us entirely. But if ants were to disappear, tens of thousands of other plants and animal species would perish also, simplifying and weakening land ecosystems almost everywhere.” IfsWorldHumansTodayAnimalNumbersEnvironmentLandDependsReturnBalancePlantSpeciesPopulationOilDisappearDozenExplosionsAntsForeheadsEcosystemsFertileWeakeningCrabsPlants And AnimalsGlandsHuman PopulationPopulation Explosion Author:E.

“Many great persons have been of opinion that love is no other thing than complacency itself, in which they have had much appearance of reason. For not only does the movement of love take its origin from the complacency which the heart feels at the first approach of good, and find its end in a second complacency which returns to the heart by union with the thing beloved--but further, it depends for its preservation on this complacency, and can only subsist through it as through its mother and nurse; so that as soon as the complacency ceases, love ceases.” LoveFeelsFirstsHeartPersonsDoeHas BeensEndsReasonMotherLove IsOpinionMovementDependsReturnApproachUnionsAppearanceCeaseBelovedNursePreservationComplacencyGreat Person Book:The Saint Francis de Sales Collection [16 Books] Source: The Saint Francis de Sales Collection [16 Books]

“From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.” KnowsMenLifeInspirationalGivingWellsSoulLife IsOrderRealizingMy OwnFateOne ThingDependsReturnGratitudeBuiltLaborFellowsSmileSakeConnectedHappyWell BeingDaily LifeSympathyBeing HappyFellow ManStandpointInner LifeCaring For OthersPeople In Your LifeMy Sympathy Author:Albert Einstein
