The Secret of Happiness from Maria Popova on Vimeo.

The Word Right Now

"My aim is not - most definitely not - to argue that social problems could be solved if only more people performed more acts of kindness. Nor do I propose that we can dispense with most government on the faith that altruism will guide citizens to serve the public good. Rather, I aim to show that altruism is a powerful, centripetal force in everyday life."

-- Deborah Stone

I admire the Good Samaritan for picking up people on the side of the road, but I don't want to be the Good Samaritan. I want to fix the road to Jericho, so people don't get beat up there.

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. ~Leo Tolstoy
