My favorite quote comes from the book "Wind, Sand, and Stars" :

"To be a man, precisely, is to take responsibility."

The code I try to live by is: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind... And... You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
