Weekly Thoughts

Many people are deluded into thinking they are succeeding when their business is growing, when their bank deposits are piling, when their securities are paying more dividends, when their golf score is improving and when they are members of exclusive clubs. They are often "rich in things but poor in soul." Real success lies in possession of character, not of things. What we are is more important than what we have.

Thoughts by the late Rev. Paul Osumi are selected weekly by his family.
