“Few of us will do the spectacular deeds of heroism that spread themselves across the pages of our newspapers in big black headlines. But we can all be heroic in the little things of everyday life. We can do the helpful things, say the kind words, meet our difficulties with courage and high hearts, stand up for the right when the cost is high, keep our word even though it means sacrifice, be a giver instead of a destroyer. Often this quiet, humble heroism is the greatest heroism of all.” HeartKindMeanLittlesBigsBlackCan DoSacrificeHeroCostQuietPagesDifficultyEverydayDeedsHumbleSpreadNewspapersHelpfulLittle ThingsHeroicHeroismEveryday LifeSpectacularGiverHeadlinesOur WordsDestroyersKind Words Book:當代的生活藝術 Source: 當代的生活藝術
“Today, the biggest challenge we must meet is the one we present to ourselves. To not become a nation that places entitlement ahead of accomplishment.

To not become a people that thinks so little of ourselves that we demand no sacrifice from each other.” PeopleThinkingLittlesCountryTodayLyingNationsDifficultChallengesSacrificeDemandComfortableAccomplishmentEntitlementEntitlement Programs Author:Chris Christie
“If they had $2.00 for food, they had to give $1.00 to the union. Otherwise, they would never get out of the trap of poverty.

“The poor, you know, have a way of solving problems...they have a tremendous capacity for suffering. And so when you build a vehicle to get something done, as we've done here in the strike and the boycott, then they continue to suffer - and maybe a little bit more - but the suffering becomes less important because they see a chance of progress; sometimes progress itself. They've been suffering all their live.s It's a question of suffering with some kind of hope now. That's better than suffering with no hope at all.” KnowsWayKindLittlesImportantSometimesDoneProblemSufferingBitsChancePoorProgressSacrificeLittle BitCapacityStrikesVehicleProblem SolvingNo HopeBoycott Author:Cesar Chavez
“For more than 160 years, through the initiative of the French bishop Charles de Forbin Janson, the childhood of Jesus has become the icon for the commitment of Christian children who help the Church in her task of evangelization by prayer, sacrifice and gestures of solidarity....Thousands of children meet the needs of other children, driven by the love that the Son of God, become a child, brought to the earth. I say thanks to these little ones and I pray that they will always be missionaries.” NeedsYearsChildrenLittlesHelpingEarthChristianJesusChurchPrayerSacrificeChildhoodSonPrayingCommitmentTasksDrivenThanksGesturesInitiativeSolidarityI PrayIconsBishopsNeeds Of Others Author:Pope Benedict XVI
