A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful."

Marie Curie, scientist, Nobel laureate (1867-1934)

A THOUGHT FOR PRESIDENT'S DAY - (Please share)

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

"I have noticed that when chickens quit quarreling over their food they often find that there is enough for all of them.

I wonder if it might not be the same with the human race."

About morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
