“Judge not and you will not be judged;
condemn not and you will not be condemned;
forgive and you will be forgiven;
give and it will be given to you,
good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, running over,
will be put into your lap.
For the measure you give,
will be the measure you get back.”
Luke 6:37-38

“Remember that when you leave this earth,
you can take with you,

enriched by honest service,
love, sacrifice and courage.”
