Daily Thoughts from Phillips Brooks"I am my best for the sake of all mankind." Make that your rule in life, dear friend, and do you not see what a calm, strong, even and com- pleted life it brings? The world claims for you, and your own soul claims for you, your best. It is an obligation to yourself and an obligation to the world. You know how little you are think- ing, how little you are doing, to fulfil the best meaning of this human life that lies before you. Go forth and serve the world, and you will know that you must be a nobler man in order that you may serve it fully.
