Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience, but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize the voice of justice. | |

The whole point of life was you couldn’t ever be sure what would happen next. Sometimes what happened was good, sometimes not, but there were always surprises. | |

My Children |
|
It is not how much I have gathered | |
Through my honest work or even greed | |
In the end possessions won’t matter | |
But what flowers from each planted seed | |
I wanted them to have all my heart | |
And leave no part of my love unused | |
Give them an easier place to start | |
Let them find their own dreams to pursue | |
I wonder will they remember well | |
The lessons that I have tried to teach | |
Those things that I tried to gently tell | |
To show that hope is within their reach | |
To show them not to stand on the stage | |
Instead intermingle with the crowd | |
Always have the want to turn the page | |
Be the one of whom they could be proud | |
They’re the footprints that I leave behind | |
They will be my only legacy | |
They will be the story brought to mind | |
When my grandchildren remember me | |
