“If
we only listen to those whom we already see eye to eye, we will
never create better understanding, a concept that is at the
core of Rotary.”

"Of
the things we think, say or do:
Is
it the TRUTH?
Is
it FAIR to all concerned?
Will
it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will
it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
