"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in your life, you will have been all of these." - George Washington Carver
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility." Longfellow
"There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate ones." Anwar Sadat
"The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own." Disraeli
"When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you dont blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change." Thich Nhat Hanh
