A CREDO*
"Strange is our situation here upon
earth. Each of us comes for a short visit,
not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming
to divine a purpose. From the standpoint
of daily life, however, there is one
thing we know: that man is here for the
sake of other men . . . above all, for those
upon whose smile and well-being our
own happiness depends, and also for the
countless unknown souls with whose fate
we are connected by a bond-of sympathy.
Many times a day I realize how much
my own outer and inner life is built upon
the labors of my fellow men, both living
and dead, and how earnestly I must exert
myself in order to give in return as much
as I have received."
-Albert Einstein
