Great thoughts

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
—Mohandas K. Gandhi
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.
—Native American Proverb
If civilization has risen from the Stone Age, it can rise again from the Wastepaper Age.
—Jacques Barzun, the House of Intellect
"Everyone chooses one of two roads in life – the old and the young, the rich and the poor, men and women alike. One is the broad, well-traveled road to mediocrity, the other the road to greatness and meaning. The range of possibilities that exists within each of these two destinations is as wide as the diversity of gifts and personalities in the human family. But the contrast between the two destinations is as the night is to the day."
—Dr. Stephen R. Covey, from the 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
