    “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.”
    -Martin G Molony, District 1160 Governor, Dublin Central, Ireland
    in The Rotarian, January 2006

    "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?"
