Quoteworthy
"The only real voyage consists not in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes; in seeing the universe through the
eyes of another, one hundred others – in seeing the
hundred universes that each of them sees." (Marcel
Proust)
"Be kind, be all sympathy, for each and every human
being is forced to fight against himself." (Sri Chinmoy)
"Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity
for kindness." (Seneca)
"You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never
know how soon it will be too late." (Ralph Waldo
Emerson)
"You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." (Kahlil
Gibran)
"You know, when we marched against the awfulness of
that vicious system
[Apartheid], how wonderful that in those marches one would
be walking and on
one side would be a Muslim imam, and on the other a Jewish
rabbi, and there
would be so many people of different faiths, part of that
walk to freedom.
And they were all inspired by their faiths. I have yet to
hear of a faith
that says 'Hey, it's okay to be unjust. It's okay to be enslaved.
It's okay
to be inferior. It's okay to be oppressed." I give thanks
to God that all of
the faiths of which I know anything speak about the wonder
of each one of
us. The Jew, the Christian, the Muslim, speak of the human
being created in
the image of God whose worth is infinite, whose worth is
intrinsic." (Bishop
Desmond Tutu, Sermon preached at Calvary Episcopal Church,
Pittsburgh, Oct.
