There is nothing in life harder to learn that the lesson of service to your fellow man - to love him for what he is. It is easy to love yourself, but it is hard to love someone else. That is the lesson we have to learn. Usually we learn this lesson through bitter experiences. –Alfred J. Parker

To live is to give. –Alfred J. Parker

There have always been hard times. There have always been wars and troubles such as famine and disease, and some folks are born with money, some with none. In the end it is up to the man what he becomes, and none of those other things matters. It is character that counts. –Louis L'Amour

It is easy to desire to be good, to progress, to change, but it only happens when we apply and actually do the work necessary for the desired change. Wishful thinking never made anyone rich, beautiful, or happy. Only honest accomplishment does that. –Kabalarian Writings
