Bette Midler

“I never know how much of what I say is true.”

Bette Midler
1945 - Present
Singer, Actress, Comedian

The more we know, the more we know we don’t know.
What is truth today could be considered foolishness tomorrow.

Each generation perches atop the shoulders of the generation before it.
From that height, we are better able to see improvements.
From that height, we hopefully reach a little further towards wisdom.

But while some truths can change, others remain changeless.
Honesty, integrity, treating others with respect.

These are examples of key principles.
They form the bedrock of our civilization.
Without them, we plummet into chaos and disorder.

Those that argue against these principles only find fleeting success.
For, like gravity, they are unarguable.

Yours in achieving your personal best . . .
