--- Quote ---All the joy the world contains
Has come through wishing happiness for others.
All the misery the world contains
Has come through wanting pleasure for oneself.

Childish beings look out for themselves;
Buddhas labor for the good of others:
See the difference that divides them!

--- Quote ---12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

personal hobby, of some new-fangled theory, which will shed lustre on
their name and fame. A Scientist is as ready to suppress damaging
evidence against a current scientific hypothesis in our times [1888],
as a missionary in heathen-land, or a preacher at home.
