More from Mellody Hobson & related wisdom
The worker must work for the glory of his handiwork, not simply for pay; the thinker must think for truth, not for fame.
There is another side called justice. And justice is really love in calculation. Justice is love correcting that which revolts against love.
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.
For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.
