| An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching. Mahatma Gandhi Worth |

| The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. Mahatma Gandhi |
|
|
| Consciously or unconsciously, everyone of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large. Mahatma Gandhi |
| "The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within." Mahatma Gandhi |
| Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. Mahatma Gandhi |
| The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Mahatma Gandhi |
| "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi |
| To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith. Mahatma Gandhi |
| "I shall content myself with merely declaring my firm conviction that, for the seeker who would live in fear of God and who would see Him face to face, restraint in diet both as to quantity and quality is as essential as restraint in thought and speech." Mahatma Gandhi |

| "Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes." Mahatma Gandhi |
| "Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest." Mahatma Gandhi |

| This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible value to him. William Lyon Phelps Worth |
| I do not look on a human being as a machine, made to be kept in action by a foreign force, to accomplish an unvarying succession of motions, to do a fixed amount of work, and then to fall to pieces at death, but as a being of free spiritual powers; and I place little value on any culture but that which aims to bring out these, and to give them perpetual impulse and expansion. William Ellery Channing Worth |
| I have expressed my strong interest in the mass of the people; and this is founded, not on their usefulness to the community, so much as on what they are in themselves.... Indeed every man (sic), in every condition, is great. It is only our own diseased sight which makes him little. A man is great as a man, be he where or what he may. The grandeur of his nature turns to insignificance all outward distinctions. William Ellery Channing Worth |
| Without self-confidence we are as babes in the cradle. And how can we generate this imponderable quality, which is yet so invaluable, most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself. Virginia Woolf Worth |
| Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family. Virginia Satir Worth |
| The dignity of man requires obedience to a higher law, to the strength of the spirit. Mohandas K. Gandhi Worth |
| There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it behooves all of us not to talk about the rest of us. Robert Louis Stevenson Worth |
| I always try to believe the best of everybody -- it saves so much trouble. Rudyard Kipling Worth |
| ...when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings. Sogyal Rinpoche Worth |
| I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality. Martin Luther King, Jr. Worth |
