How short is life! how frail is human trust!
- quote by John Gay
However, while I crawl upon this planet I think myself obliged to do what good I can in my narrow domestic sphere, to all my fellow-creatures, and to wish them all the good I cannot do.
- quote by Philip Stanhope
- quote by Sydney Carter
I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store.
- quote by Jessie Belle Rittenhouse
I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store; For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have paid.
- quote by Jessie Belle Rittenhouse
I believe that none can "save" his fellow man by making a choice for him. To help him, he can indicate the possible alternatives, with sincerity and love, without being sentimental and without illusion. The knowledge and awareness of the freeing alternatives can reawaken in an individual all his hidden energies and put him on the path to choosing respect for "life" instead of for "death."

I believe that we cannot live better than in seeking to become better.

I believe there are ways whose ends are life instead of death.

I came like Water, and like Wind I go.
