This body, full of faults, Has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life Depends upon one's actions. -- Nagarjuna

For in giving their lives for the common good, each man won praise for himself that will never grow old; and the monument that awaits them is the most splendid-not where they are buried, but where their glory is laid up to be remembered forever, whenever time comes for speech or action. For to famous men, all the earth is a monument, and their virtues are attested not only by inscriptions on stone at home; but an unwritten record of the mind lives on for each of them, even in foreign lands, better than any gravestone. -Pericles

Whereas those blasphemers who follow and long after earthly things, who place their hope in earthly things, when these they have lost, wether they will or no, what shall they retain? Where shall they abide? Nothing without, nothing within; an empty coffer, and emptier conscience. -Augustine, The Political Writings
----------------
Depend upon yourself. Make your judgement trustworthy by trusting it. You can develop good judgement as you do the muscles of your body - by judicious, daily exercise. To be known as a man of sound judgement will be much in your favor. -- Grenville Kleiser
