“Father...Please help me leave this earth in a better condtion than I found it in!”
“Do no harm and leave the world a better place than you found it.”
“Always try and leave the world a much better place than you found it!”
“I know I suck," I whispered, looking her in the eye, feeling desperate. "I know I don't deserve you. Just don't leave me. Please? I'll be better, okay? Just don't leave me.”
“To leave the world a little better than you found it. That's the best a man can ever do.”
“Anything that makes me feel better (or worse) than another is darkness; anything that makes me feel one with others is divine. So the natural instinct to try to lift others by helping them to feel good about themselves relative to others is exactly the wrong way to help. True happiness is found not in a belief that I am better but in the obliteration of any need to be.”
