knowledge, wisdom, and rights

Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.
~ Jimmy Wales

A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit.
~ John C. Maxwell

The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.
~ Alexander Hamilton

We bring small daily blessings

"Human felicity is produc'd not so much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur every day."
~ Benjamin Franklin
"Not one of us knows what effect his life produces, and what he gives to others; that is hidden from us and must remain so, though we are often allowed to see some little fraction of it, so that we may not lose courage."
~ Albert Schweitzer

What happens if I say this is a quote for all of us?

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.
- Christopher Morley
