Words to live by

Senator Carl Schurz, remarks in the Senate, February 29, 1872:

The Senator from Wisconsin cannot frighten me by exclaiming, “My country, right or wrong.” In one sense I say so too. My country; and my country is the great American Republic. My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.

Albert Einstein:

People start their lives at last when they are able to live for something other than themselves.
