Thoughts, Quotes                And Stories

“Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said.We are at our best when we serve others.”

"Joy is a net of love in which you can catch souls." "Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person." "I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things." "I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."   Mother Teresa

martin Luther King

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.” “He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.” “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”.

““Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well”. – Vincent Van Gogh.
