gross national product does not allow for the health
of our children, the quality of their education or the
joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of
our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence
of our public debate or the integrity of our public
officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage,
neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion
nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything
in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. "
-- Robert
F. Kennedy |

life.
