Summary

This quote implies that being a good citizen does not necessarily require the same virtues and qualities that make someone a good individual. It suggests that one can fulfill their responsibilities as a citizen, such as obeying laws and contributing to society, without embodying all the moral virtues typically associated with being a good person. In other words, being a good citizen is more about fulfilling social obligations and adhering to societal norms, rather than being morally upright.

I no longer ask the young man's question: How far will I go? My questions are now those of the mature person: When it is over, what will my life have been about? First as Martin Buber taught, life is meeting. We come alive only when we relate to others. Secondly, we are here to change the world with small acts of thoughtfulness done daily rather than with one great dramatic leap in results. Finally, we are here to finish god's labors. One of the sages of the Talmud taught nearly two thousand years ago that God could have created a plant that would grow loaves of bread. Instead He created wheat for us to mill and bake into bread. Why? So that we could be His partners in completing the work of creation.

I wanted to be looked at for the skateboarder that I was. I didn't want to be the 36-year-old skateboarder who's still holding on while owning a company at the same time. I wanted to make my mark and travel and accomplish a few things here and there and then get out.

People know something has gone terribly wrong with our government and it has gotten so far off track. But people also know that there is nothing wrong in America that a good old-fashioned election can't fix.

The first and most difficult obstruction to the fulfillment of the law of God is that fact that our society's existing laws are completely opposed to this law.

It's a question of attitude. If you really work at something you can do it up to a point. If you really work at being happy you can do it up to a point. But anything more than that you can't. Anything more than that is luck.
