Self-Forgetfulness
1 Chronicles 11:15-19
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam…


That which especially distinguishes a high order of man from a low order of man — that which constitutes human goodness, human nobleness — is surely not the degree of enlightenment with which men pursue their own advantage; but it is self-forgetful. hess, it is self-sacrifice, it is the disregard of personal pleasure and personal indulgence, personal advantages remote or present.

(A. Froude.)
