Four Worthy Goals to Strive For...

Dr. Albert Schweitzer was a great philanthropist and devout Christian who left the comforts of affluence to live out his life in Africa. There he provided medical as well as spiritual direction to the poorest people in the world. The only time he returned home was to raise money for medicine to take back to the Africa. At some point he listed the four things that he most wanted to perfect in his life. They seem worthy goals for everyone.

"I have four things to learn in life: to think clearly without hurry or confusion; to love everybody sincerely; to act in everything with the highest motives; to trust in God unhesitatingly."
