From the Quote of the Week Files, June 4, 2012

“Be Kind for Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Great Battle.”


Plato

The above Quote of the Week has been bouncing around in my head for the past couple of week since reading it Tom Peter's book, The Little BIG Things: 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence.  I was reminded of the quote the other day as I met 4 people going through tremendous personal battles and they were all dealing with their challenges with grace and dignity. 


By the way, it not certain that Plato was the author of this quote.  Some people think it might have been John Watson.  Either way, it is a great quote!

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...


"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 someday in your life you will have been all of these."


George Washington Carver

Wishing you a most beautiful day, wherever this may find you!
