“He who tries to find the good in others will be rewarded, for others will truly find the good in him. Of all the earth’s sad and lonesome creatures, the most hopeless is he who loves not his fellow man”
Paul P HarrisThe Rotarian 1923
“Now, at the close of this, my last year of activity in the National Association, and just before the drop of the curtain in the final scene, I shall give myself the honor of a moment's pause before the footlights while I take a low bow and with heartfelt sincerity….. I bid you God’s speed. Fare ye Well.”
Paul P Harris – The National Rotarian August 1912
Ode to Night and Light Melody from the opera Hyppolyte
et Aricie by Jean Philippe Rameau
Lyrics by JC Casagrande
O NightThe earth endow with your shadowThe mere hint of your cloak Inspire my lidded eyeLong my silent heart for your comfortMy harbor in your calmIn your depth my repose abidingI enter in your realm And in your care To earth I return
O LightO twinkling spot in the stark voidBeckoning gentle host Of the heavenly vaultSource of everlasting discernmentMy consciousness you fuel As you swell in eternal brilliance Your glow enfolds my soul And in your day Forever I live
