Favorite Quotes from Steven R. Covey's "The 8th Habit"
"The inspiration of a noble cause involving human interests wide and far, enables men to do things they did not dream themselves capable of before, and which they were not capable of alone. The consciousness of belonging, vitally, to something beyond individuality; of being part of a personality that reaches we know not where, in space and time, greatens the heart to the limit of the soul's ideal, and builds out the supreme of character."
-General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
"We know not of the future, and cannot plan for it much. But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure and high, we may cherish such thoughts and such ideals, and dream such dreams of lofty purpose, that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be whenever and wherever the hour strikes, that calls to noble action."
-General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
Along those same lines... "To every man there comes in his lifetime that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing, unique to him and fitted to his talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared or unqualified for the work which would be his finest hour."
-Winston Churchill

Hey Tal-I thought I would check your blog and see how you're doing. I loved this post and find it so interesting because in sunday school this past week we got off on a tangent discussing how generations past have had to sacrifice so much and face such hardships. We were simply saying when is it going to be our turn-or what will our trials be? Hopefully when those opportunities present themselves, we will be prepared. I thought your quotes were so fitting. Anyways, hope all is well with you! We finally have joined the "blogging world" our address is www.sparrowfam5.blogspot.com. Hope to hear from you soon!
never mind, I changed the address. It is nicshericefam5.blogspot.com. Hope you are having a great summer!! Call us when you are in Utah again, I might just have some more gals for you to meet. :)
