[to be] touched by the better angels of our nature .¡± FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, AGE 51, 04 MARCH 1861 ¡° .. [a call for] a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself ¡ The energy .. and the glow from that fire can truly light the world ¡± FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS, JOHN F. KENNEDY, AGE 43, 20 JANUARY 1961 ? Wisdom From Ancient China ¡° If you want happiness for a lifetime ¨C help others ¡± -- CHINESE PROVERB ¡° Do good, reap good ¡± -- CHINESE PROVERB An English Abbot & 2 English Poets ¡° Charity means that ¡ we have chosen something we are permitted to have; .. gone about attaining it in the right way, and ..having attained it we enjoy it in the way ..God meant it to be enjoyed. Charity implies a wise choice and an enjoyment that will benefit us. It begins as a choice, it develops as the pursuit of something good, and comes to its term in enjoyment ¡± SPECULUM CARITATES 3.8 [THE MIRROR OF CHARITY] AELRED OF RIVEAULX (1110-67) ¡° How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world ¡± MERCHANT OF VENICE ACT V WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564-1616) ¡° A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and of many others; the pains and pleasures of his species must become his own .¡± DEFENSE OF POETRY 1821, PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY (1792-1822) A Worldly Wise Italian Renaissance Statesman ¡° Do all you can to seem good, for that can be infinitely useful. But since false opinions do not last, it will be difficult to seem good for very long, if you are really not. ¡± RICORDI C.44 [MAXIMS AND REFLECTIONS] ¡° Do not let the ingratitude of many men deter you from doing good to others. To do good without ulterior motive is a generous and almost divine thing in itself. Moreover, while doing good, you may come across someone so grateful that he makes up for all the ingratitude of others. ¡± RICORDI C.11 ¡° If a man is not really a good citizen, he will not long be thought one. And so even if he only wishes to give the impression of being a good citizen, he must nevertheless force himself to be one . ¡± RICORDI B.2 FRANCESCO GUICCIARDINI (1483-1540)
