I
f you are wise, you will forget yourself into greatness.
Forget your rights, but remember your responsibilities.
Forget your inconveniences, but remember your blessings.
Forget your own accomplishments, but remember your debts to others.
Forget your privileges, but remember your obligations.
Follow the examples of Florence Nightingale, of Albert Schweitzer, of
Abraham Lincoln, of Tom Dooley, and forget yourself into greatness.
I
f you are wise, you will
empty yourself into adventure.
Remember the words of General Douglas MacArthur: "There is no security
on this earth. There is only opportunity."
Empty your days of the search for security; fill them with a passion
for service.
Empty your hours of the ambition for recognition; fill them with the
aspiration for achievement.
Empty your moments of the need for
entertainment; fill them with the quest for creativity.
I
f you are wise, you will
lose yourself into immortality.
