May we never forget
that we live by the grace of God --
on borrowed time;
that anonymity is better than acclaim;
that for us as a movement poverty is better than wealth.
And may we reflect with ever deepening conviction,
that we shall never be at our best
except when we hew only to the primary spiritual aim of AA.
That of carrying its message to the alcoholic
who still suffers alcoholism.
Bill W., April 1948.
If you have not often felt the joy of doing a kind act,
you have neglected much,
and most of all yourself.
