I find the great
thing in this world
is not so much
where we stand,
as in what
direction we are moving:
To reach the
port of heaven,
we must sail
sometimes with the wind
and sometimes
against it,
but we must
sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
~ Oliver Wendell
Holmes
To educate a
person in mind and not in morals
is to educate a
menace society.
~ Theodore
Roosevelt
Ethics, too, are
nothing but reverence for life.
This is what
gives me the fundamental principle
of morality,
namely,
that good
consists in maintaining, promoting, and
enhancing
life,
and that
destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil.
~ Albert
Schweitzer

Do not be too
moral.
You may cheat
yourself out of much life so.
Aim above
morality.
Be not simply
good; be good for something.
