You are not honored for the fruit you pick, but for the trees you plant.
Wealth won’t make you happy. Power won’t make you remarkable. Fame won’t make you honorable. Education won’t make you wise.
Regard those who respect you.Esteem those who honor you.Cherish those who love you.Reward those who adore you.
Love lost is better than hate found. True criticism is better than false praise. Genuine enemies are better than counterfeit friends.
If you look to money for happiness, you will be disappointed; to power, you will be disillusioned; to honor, you will be dissatisfied; to others, you will be disenchanted; but if you look to God, you will be fulfilled.
Your clock cannot buy you more time, your bed cannot get you more sleep, your titles cannot acquire you more influence, your fame cannot gain you more honor, and your money cannot earn you more happiness.
A tree is honored for the size of its fruit, not the size of its leaves.
It is the roof that fights the rain, but the builder who gets all the glory.
Noble leaders choose: wisdom over wealth, knowledge over fame, understanding over honor, virtue over titles, and people over power.
Honor those who inspire you, who show you the way. The teachers, artists , writers, the healers. Respect their time, their intellectual properties, their fee. They live a life of service, but this is also the way they make their living. This is how they feed, clothe and shelter themselves and their families. This is how they can continue to do their work in the world.
