Review this feature weekly - a new quote from Paul Harris and other notable Rotary leaders with historian commentary.

"The old catalogue listed goods which were considered sacred. Men, women and children bowed before them in abject humility. Whether in church, on the golf course or at a Rotary club luncheon, their thoughts were upon them. They were listed in the catalogue as possessions. Whatever the spoken prayer may have been, too oft the inner prayer was: "God grant us abundant possessions." The hunger for possessions obscured the desire for the wholesome things of life; it was pervasive of morals, inimical to higher concepts, destructive of real happiness, devastating."

Paul Harris in his message to the 1934 convention in Detroit.
