"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." - Plato (428-348);
"Stay where you are. Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering, and the lonely right there where you are - in your own homes and in your own families, in your workplaces and in your schools. You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see. Everywhere, wherever you go, you find people who are unwanted, unloved, uncared for, just rejected by society - completely forgotten, completely left alone." - Mother Teresa (1910-1997); Founder Of The Missionaries Of Charity
"We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness." - Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977);
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy
