Summary

This quote suggests that a person who lives a fulfilling and meaningful life away from the spotlight or public attention is truly successful. It implies that true contentment and accomplishment can be found in leading a life that aligns with one's values and brings personal satisfaction, rather than seeking fame or recognition. Living "well" means prioritizing one's own happiness and fulfillment, even if it goes unnoticed by others. It highlights the idea that the measure of a life well lived lies not in external validation or attention, but in personal fulfillment and inner contentment.

The most important ingredient we put into any relationship i

The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are. And if our words and our actions come from superficial human relations techniques (the Personality Ethic) rather than from our own inner core (the Character Ethic), others will sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able to create and sustain the foundation necessary for effective interdependence.

In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.

You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.
