Thought for the Day
  • An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. –Mahatma Gandhi

  • Love is the world's greatest antidote to selfishness. –Alfred J. Parker

  • When viewing or thinking a thought, always clarify it for the value of its logic and reason; divest it of imagination, mystery, and all falseness; see the clear intent, whether constructive or otherwise, and never compromise with illogicality; a statement is, or is not. See it for what it really is, and do not attempt to clothe it with personality; this is what so often leads to jumping to conclusions and self-pity. –Alfred J. Parker

  • To live is to give. –Alfred J. Parker
