When no new thoughts fill the mind-when no horizons beckon-when life is in the past, not in the future--you are on your way to uselessness
Dr. Frederick K. Stamm
Most of our assumptions have outlived their uselessness.
Marshall McLuhan
Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness.
George Bernard Shaw
The key to overcoming aloneness and a feeling of uselessness for one who is physically able is to step outside yourself by helping others who are truly needy. We promise those who will render this kind of service that, in some measure, you will be healed of the loss of loved ones or the dread of being alone. The way to feel better about your own situation is to improve someone else's circumstances.
Ezra Taft Benson
