The Best Investment

“The best investment I know of is charity: you get your principal back immediately, and draw a dividend every time you think of it.”

Happy Monday Everyone!

The Rent We Pay

“Service is the rent we pay for our room on earth.” - King George VI

What a great thought. Imagine what the world would be like if we were all to take this on as a pledge. Service means “contribution to the welfare of others.” If we all made regular contributions, the world would be a much nicer place.
