GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER REPEAT

I know I’ve used this George Washington Carver quote before…
but I believe we can’t hear these words enough…
especially when we look our on a world
where, for so many, times are tough…

Eventually when these words might find their way into our hearts
we’ll see everyone as our sister and our brother
and we’ll look out on a world
where we all take care of one another

How far you go in life depends on being tender with the young
Compassionate with the aged
Sympathetic with the striving
And tolerant with the weak
because someday in your life you will have been all of these

Very true! Perhaps some become bitter because they had no compassion or sympathy, always selfish - now they feel sorry for themselves.
