So I have just one wish for you – the good luck to be somewhere where you are free to maintain the kind of integrity I have described, and where you do not feel forced by a need to maintain your position in the organization, or financial support, or so on, to lose your integrity. May you have that freedom.

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person.

My nephew Matthew, now a @Georgetown sophomore, shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. My nephew has searched online and has found nothing similar so believes it not to be a "form letter." It's a beautiful precis on how to live a life of service.

February 11, 2019

To Matthew:

Thank you for your letter. I admire your interest in serving our country and appreciate your desire to begin that service as soon as possible. No matter what the future holds, there are a few things that young people must do to ensure success: Study hard in order to excel in college and learn as much as possible about the things that particularly interest you; be tenacious in fulfilling commitments, whether to others or to yourself; volunteer your time and talents to community projects, learning all you can about the specific needs of the country or state in which you live; and treat everyone—family, friends and strangers—with honest and respect. If you do these things, I’m sure you will find satisfaction in whatever career you chose.

With best wishes,

Jimmy Carter.

Mary, the Mother of God and our Mother, awaits us there, at the crib. She points out to us, as she did to the shepherds, the presence of God who always surprises us, who does not come in the majesty of the heavens, but in the littleness of a manger.

Unless you’re staying at a hotel where good sleep is a swank amenity, travel is usually more stressful than restful.

“If international humanitarian law is to survive today’s existential challenges, the United States and its allies need to treat it not as an optional constraint to be adjusted or shrugged off as needed but as an unmoving pillar of the global legal order.”

“I’m still not convinced that China’s authoritarian model is the most sustainable model. Now, of course, the American democratic model doesn’t look that stable or powerful either. So maybe we’re going to face a period of competitive decline.”

“Attacking the ICC shows that the United States supports global justice only when applied to its adversaries. And in doing so, it suggests that Washington’s commitment to the rule of law extends only so far as its short-term naked self-interest allows.”

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

@kayodeomotoye1 @ProfFeynman The phrase “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” is often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, but there is no definitive source in his writings that confirms he actually wrote it. It does however encapsulate his philosophy regarding art and design.
