I M planting trees whose shade I will never sit in.
Wisdom
The measure of a society, and a man, is whether he plants trees under whose shade he knows he will never rest. To labor for a harvest you will not eat is the least selfish and most human thing a person can do. Plant anyway. Someone once shaded you.
Carry It
Do one thing today entirely for people who will benefit long after you, and expect nothing back from it.
Ask Yourself
What are you planting now whose shade will only fall on people you will never meet?
I bring the words. You bring the voice.
