Favorite Quotes
Be the change you want to see in the world.
—Mahatma Gandhi
If there is a problem and there is something you can do about it,
don’t worry about it; if there is a problem and there is nothing you
can do about it, don’t worry about it.
—Buddhist proverb
Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my broth-
ers, you did it to me.
—Matthew 25:40
Five Things to Do to Make the World a Better Place
- Listen more; talk less.
- Care daily for your mind, body, and spirit. An imbalanced schedule leads
to an imbalanced life. - Give more than you think you can afford, and accept more than you think
you deserve. - Know where the things you buy come from. One of your most powerful
tools is in your wallet. - Pray for wisdom, peace, clarity, and courage, but do not hold God
accountable for your personal expectations.
