The Queen was laid to rest today and a part of history ends and a new part begins. She lived her life in devotion to her God and nation, a strong faith, and kept her promise to serve until the very end.
Words on leadership and wisdom.
"Our modern world places such heavy demands on our time and attention that the need to remember our responsibilities to others is greater than ever."
"Each day is a new beginning, I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God."
"When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future"
"Perhaps we make too much of what is wrong and too little of what is right. The trouble with gloom is that it feeds upon itself and depression causes more depression."
"In times of doubt and anxiety the attitudes people show in their daily lives, in their homes, and in their work, are of supreme importance."
"It is through this lens of history that we should view the conflicts of today, and so give us hope for tomorrow."
"Over the years, those who have seemed to me to be the most happy, contented and fulfilled have always been the people who have lived the most outgoing and unselfish lives."
"Everyone is our neighbour, no matter what race, creed or colour."
"If we resolve to be considerate and to help our neighbours; to make friends with people of different races and religions; and, as our Lord said, to look to our own faults before we criticise others, we will be keeping faith with those who landed in Normandy and fought so doggedly for their belief in freedom, peace and human decency."
"With age does come experience and that can be a virtue if it is sensibly used. By being willing to put past differences behind us and move forward together, we honour the freedom and democracy once won for us at so great a cost."
Let's follow the Queens lead.
