Random quote of the day:

“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because some day in life you will have been all of these.

—George Washington Carver, George Washington Carver: In His Own Words, ed. Gary R. Kremer

Random quote of the day:

 

“A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.”

—Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn By Living

Random quote of the day:

 

“Since…sainthood is quite difficult to achieve, it makes more sense to seek enlightenment through following the path of sin and degradation.  It’s a great circle—when you get all the way down it’s identical to all the way up.  Each path leads to the same direction.”

—John Levitt, Dog Days
