“There was a storm and thousands and thousands of starfish were washed up on the shore. This beautiful little girl was running down the beach and she was picking up the starfish and frantically throwing them back into the ocean. When I saw her doing this I said to her, 'Why are you doing that? You can only save a few before they die, what difference does it make?' And she looked at me and she said, 'To that one, it makes a difference.' To that one, it makes a difference, the little girl said. And she was right and at that very moment she was making a difference for that starfish and she was making a difference for herself too because she was connected, to that starfish. And that's what life is all about, connecting. In fact that's the only time you're ever alive, really, is when you're connecting.”

“The road out in front of my house - it's on a steep hill. Every day I watch the cars climbing up. Some go lickety-split up that hill on high, some have to shift into second, and some sputter and shake and slip back to the bottom again. Same cars, same gasoline, yet some make it and some don't. And I say the fellows who can make the hill on high should stop once in a while and help those who can't. That's all I'm trying to do with this money. Help the fellows who can't make the hill on high."
