Day 49 ~ March 20 ~ Honour

Quotes
“It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honour him for what he is.” ~ Hermann Hesse “Those who are good and pure in conduct are honoured wherever they go. The good shine like the Himalayas, whose peaks glisten above the rest of the world even when seen from a distance.” ~ The Buddha “Dignity does not consist in possessing honours, but in deserving them.” ~ Aristotle |

Reflection
People who work for the welfare of others, will generally be deeply loved, respected and honoured wherever they go. It is a simple law of human nature that we love the highest, that we emulate such people, and we want to lead the kind of life they lead. This is the saving grace of human nature: when we see someone who is patient, kind, forgiving, and forbearing, we recognize their nonviolent ways, because we too, have those qualities. As we honour them, we honour ourselves. |

Quotes
“If you seek what is honorable, what is good, what is the truth of your life, all the other things you could not imagine come as a matter of course.” ~ Oprah Winfrey “A man has honour if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable, or dangerous to do so.” ~ Walter Lippman |
