I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority, by someone recognized wiser than oneself - Marlene Dietrich

ANON
Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg.

BOUTRO BOUTROS-GHALI
Ever since my youth I have been inspired whenever I contemplate the Nile, the river-god my ancestors worshipped. The Nile flows on indifferent to mere events. It carries a message from the heart of Africa, our common home. It brings life to all who live near its banks. It contributes its water to the Mediterranean and the great civilizations which surround its shores. And ultimately it flows and merges with all the world’s oceans which link every continent and all people of our planet. To me, it is a constant reminder of our common humanity.

DENG MING-DAO
The good in you is like the water in a well. The more you draw from it, the more fresh water will seep in. If you do not draw from it, the water will only become stagnant.

BUDDHA
Hatreds do not ever cease in this world by hating, but by love; this is an eternal truth - overcome anger by love, overcome evil by good, overcome the miser by giving, overcome the liar by truth.

St TERESA of AVILA
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.
Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt.
Give the world your best anyway.
If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.
Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt.
Give the world your best anyway.

MARTIN LUTHER KING
Hatred paralyzes life - love releases it. Hatred confuses life - love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life - love illuminates it.
