Children
Learn What They Live -
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to
condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to
fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be
shy.
If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to
feel guilty. If a child lives with tolerance, he learns
to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement he learns
confidence
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
He a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have
faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like
himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
he learns to find love in the world.
-- Dorothy Law Neite

Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were
easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It
takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes
with plenty of failure along the way. The real
test is not whether you avoid this failure, because
you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame
you into inaction, or whether you learn from it;
whether you choose to persevere.
-- Barack Obama

Tolerance,
respect and patience are acquired skills, they
are learned attributes, practiced choices, and

peace, I believe this is as good as it gets.

those who are already saints, but of those who

and failures.
-- Mother Teresa

"This
is what you should do;
love the Earth and sun and the animals,
despite riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labour to others,
hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people,
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown
or to any many or number of men...
re-examine all you have been told at school
or church or in any book,
dismiss what insults your soul,
and your very flesh shall be a great poem."
~ Walt Whitman
