From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, more will be asked.
……Luke 12:48
“My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved. I have been given much and I have given something in return. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure”
……Oliver Sacks
A hundred times a day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other people, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the full measure I have received and am still receiving
….Albert Einstein
