Today's Words of Wisdom - December 6, 2015

Today is the birthday of the following people:



Nelson Mandela (1918 – 2013): (Nelson Mandela died on this day in 2013)
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

and
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

and
"Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end."

and
"I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles."

and
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."

and
"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."

and

"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."




Judd Apatow (1967 - ):
“Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.”




Peter Handke (1942 - ):
“When the child was a child, it didn’t know that it was a child, everything was soulful, and all souls were one.”

and
“If a nation loses its storytellers, it loses its childhood.”
