A quote to think about
Posted by Bacon on October 2nd, 2009 filed in Stories

Pat sent this to me recently, and I thought it was a wonderful quote that merits sharing.

Lest I continue
My complacent way,
Help me to remember that somewhere,
Somehow out there
A man died for me today.
As long as there be war,
I then must
Ask and answer
Am I worth dying for?

(from GWU “The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project”; quote from Joseph P. Lash, Eleanor and Franklin (New York: W.W. Norton and Company, Inc., 1971))
