The Feast of St. Francis was this week. I wouldn't even have known that if not for my Facebook friends posting quotes. It's funny though, that I did think of him before I read the quotes that day because I was in a class where "seek first to understand" was attributed to Stephen Covey. Yes, I know, it's Habit #5. I guess great philosophies, like great songs, sometimes reach a bigger audience when they're re-released by someone new. Here's another of St. Francis' lesser known quotes that got my attention: "Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received -- only what you have given."
