  2. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in the retrospect. We should have been cut-throats to do otherwise. And there’s an end. We ought to know distinctly that we are damned for what we do wrong; but when we have done right, we have only been gentlemen, after all. There is nothing to make a work about.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 6 “Right and Wrong”

  3. My mother is ill, and her medication is the only thing that helps her get through the day. It's very expensive, and I'm responsible for her and my nieces. Everything is beyond my means. Any help, even a small amount, could make a difference and help my mother get her medication. May God reward you. #help #donations #humanitarian #donate #goodness #support #doinggood #charity #reward
