Marshall's Law


From a interview with the late David Marshall (Lexean: The Chauvinism Issue)

"If ten men tell you your head is not on your shoulders, shake it and make sure. Dont accept it. Just shake it and make sure"

"We have lost sight of the joy and excitement of public service, helping our fellow men. We have lost the taste for heroic action in the service of our people"

"Our lives are empty. We dont understand the joy of living is not in the gold coins. It is not in the bank account. The joy of living is in human relations. We are not in the appreciation of this miracle of life"

"All youths, no matter what race, no matter what country, goodwill flows from their hearts. THey want to help the world, but by the time you reach 30, your goodwill, like good wine, turns to vinegar - the vinegar of crabbed egoism"

"If you are totally engrossed in self-promotion, at the end of the day, you'll find its dead seafood. Try and give up yourselfs to others"

再別康橋- 徐志摩


This poem kept appearing in my mind as I was leaving...

再別康橋- 徐志摩

輕輕的我走了,

正如我輕輕的來;

我輕輕的招手,

作別西天的雲彩。

悄悄的我走了,

正如我悄悄的來;

我揮一揮衣袖,

不帶走一片雲彩。
