Words of Wisdom

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Ghandi

I let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him.
Booker T. Washington

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Elie Wiesel

As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might.
Marian Anderson (1897-1993), singer

EMPATHY
He prayed -- it wasn't my religion.
He ate -- it wasn't what I ate.
He spoke -- it wasn't my language.
He dressed -- it wasn't what I wore.
He took my hand -- it wasn't the color of mine.
But when he laughed -- it was how I laughed,
and when he cried -- it was how I cried.
written by 16-year-old Amy Maddox of Bargersville, Indiana.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they have all learned to live in the same box.
