“Listening is such a simple act. It requires us to be present, and that takes practice, but we don't have to do anything else. We don't have to advise, or coach, or sound wise. We just have to be willing to sit there and listen.”

We don't beat the Grim Reaper by living longer, we beat the Reaper by living well and living fully, for the Reaper will come for all of us. The question is what do we do between the time we are born and the time he shows up. #<Author:0x00005555d8a254f8>
PURPOSE
The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety. #<Author:0x00005555d8a04140>
UNITY
We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community...Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own. #<Author:0x00005555d8a7ea58>
SHARING
In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us. #<Author:0x00005555d8a5db00>
HELPING OTHERS
Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human. #<Author:0x00005555d8a3c2c0>
COMPASSION
I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person. #<Author:0x00005555d8aac598>
LAUGHTER
If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, ”Here comes number seventy-one!” #<Author:0x00005555d8a87860>
DETERMINATION
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. #<Author:0x00005555d8b1c618>
LAUGHTER
