“I was taught by family at ten.
I was taught by books at twenty.
I was taught by enemies at thirty.
I was taught by nature at forty.
I was taught by life at fifty.

At ten, I was foolish.
At twenty, I was naïve.
At thirty, I was alert.
At forty, I was experienced.
At fifty, I was wise.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

“Free your mind,
ignorance is a prison.
Liberate your heart,
greed is a jail.
Release your soul,
arrogance is a cell.

Embrace knowledge,
education is independence.
Acquire understanding,
awareness is freedom.
Utilize enlightenment,
perception is power.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

Albert Einstein
“Our task as humans is to widen our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein

John Boyne
“Perhaps it would be a good idea if everyone just stopped writing for a couple of years and allowed readers to catch up.”
John Boyne, A Ladder to the Sky

Walter J. Ciszek
“We go along, taking for granted that tomorrow will be very much like today, comfortable in the world we have created for ourselves, secure in the established order we have learned to live with, however imperfect it may be, and give little thought to God at all. Somehow, then, God must contrive to break through those routines of ours and remind us once again, like Israel, that we are ultimately dependent only upon him, that he has made us and destined us for life with him through all eternity, that the things of this world and this world itself are not our lasting city, that his we are and that we must look to him and turn to him in everything. Then it is, perhaps, that he must allow our whole world to be turned upside down in order to remind us it is not our permanent abode or final destiny, to bring us to our senses and restore our sense of values, to turn our thoughts once more to him—even if at first our thoughts are questioning and full of reproaches. Then it is that he must remind us again, with terrible clarity, that he meant exactly what he said in those seemingly simple words of the Sermon on the Mount: “Do not be anxious about what you shall eat, or what you shall wear, or where you shall sleep, but seek first the kingdom of God and his justice.”
Walter J. Ciszek, He Leadeth Me: An Extraordinary Testament of Faith
