Thou shalt not
 be a victim.
Thou shalt not
 be a perpetrator.
Above all,
Thou shalt not
 be a bystander.

 

I have learnt silence from the talkative
toleration from the intolerant
and kindness from the unkind
yet strange
I am ungrateful to these teachers.

I will give you a talisman..
recall the  poorest and the weakest man
whom you may have seen
and ask yourself if the step you
contemplate is going to be of any use to him.

Love all
trust a few
do wrong to none.

If nothing ever changed
there would be no butterflies

The Possible's slow fuse is lit
by the Imagination

Life is mostly froth and bubble
 two things stand like stone


Kindness in another's trouble
courage in your own

 

Today I bent the truth to be kind,
and I have no regret,
for I am far surer of what is kind than
I am of what is true

 

Have you had a kindness shown?
'twas not given for thee alone,
let it travel down the years
let it wipe another's tears
'til in heaven the deed appears
Pass it on

Blind folks see the fairies Oh better than we
who miss the shining of their wings
because our eyes are filled with things
 we do not wish to see.

It is better to be hated for what you are
than to be loved for something you are not

 

Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do..
