"Give, give, give -- what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine." --Isabel Allende

This I Believe

In 1951, out of concern that America was being driven by fear, journalist Edward R. Murrow began a series called "This I Believe". For five minutes each day, radio listeners heard essays from famous and everyday Americans as they shared their personal philosophy on what gave them inspiration and hope. In 2005, in an America gripped by the fear of terrorism and the wasteland of rampant materialism, NPR journalist Jay Allison is reviving the series to let us once again hear the stories of what we believe. .
