Thoughts for today...


Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

- Mahatma Gandhi

We can do no great things, only small things with great love

- Mother Teresa

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

- The Buddha

Great acts are made up of small deeds

- Lao Tzu

You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.

- Seneca

A person's true wealth is the good he or she does in the world.
- Mohammed

The highest form of wisdom is kindness

- The Talmud


That kind of takes the wind out of the "I can't save the world so why should I even try " excuse!

Just my random thoughts for today...
