Day 48r: The legacy of a giving Heart … (06/01/2019)
“History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days. And yet what is the worth of all this? The only true guide to a man is his conscience, and the only true buckler to his legacy is the integrity (i.e. the selflessness) of his actions. It is in truth imprudent to walk through life without this all-important shield, because fate so often mocks the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations. And yet with the shield of our deeds done, however happenstances might play, we stride to the end of our days always in the ranks of honor.” ~ via Winston Churchill
