Good idea for all people

Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.
Great things can be achieved by leading through wisdom, empathy, and integrity—with no other agenda than humanity. #<Author:0x0000559425077308>
LEADERSHIP
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. #<Author:0x0000559425091e10>

SOUL
Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible—it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. #<Author:0x000055942514ab40>
LOVE
Each of us can look back upon someone who made a great difference in our lives, someone whose wisdom or simple acts of caring made an impression upon us. In all likelihood it was someone who sought no recognition for their deed other than the joy of knowing that, by their hand, another's life had been made better. #<Author:0x0000559425187608>
HELPING OTHERS
We are all unique, and have our own special place in the puzzle of the universe. #<Author:0x00005594251a4398>
TEAM WORK
Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human. #<Author:0x00005594251d3080>
COMPASSION
Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light. #<Author:0x00005594251f9528>
HELPING OTHERS
Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behavior wherever you find it. Apply a rigid standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail as you surely will, ­adjust your lives, not the standards. #<Author:0x0000559425218f90>
CIVILITY
The people who give you their food give you their heart. #<Author:0x0000559425252cb8>
SHARING
You cannot talk about grit—you have to embody it. You cannot talk about faith—you have to live it. You cannot talk about the desert—you have to cross it. #<Author:0x0000559425285f50>
GRIT
Reading is a way for me to expand my mind, open my eyes, and fill up my heart. #<Author:0x000055942529d600>
LITERACY
Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it. #<Author:0x00005594252bb858>
