When I reach the end of my days, a moment or two from now. I
must look back on something more meaningful than the pursuit
of houses and land and machines and stocks and bonds. Nor is fame any lasting benefit. I will consider my earthly existence to have been wasted, unless I can recall...a loving family,
a consistent investment in the lives of people, and an earnest attempt to serve God who made me. And there's no better time than now to assess the values which are worthy of my time and effort. (quoted by Dr. James Dodson)
