4 Observations (from Others)

Culture and popular opinion lead us to believe that happiness can be bought, that more is always better, and that success carries more weight than integrity.

-- Joel Owen 


I learned the lesson that great men cultivate love, and that only little men cherish a spirit of hatred. I learned that assistance given to the weak makes the one who gives it strong; and that oppression of the unfortunate makes one weak.

-- Booker T. Washington


Intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.

-- Alexander Solzhenitsyn


It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.

-- Audre Lorde
