We have communion with Christ in His thoughts, views, and purposes; for His thoughts are our thoughts according to our capacity and sanctity. Believers take the same view of matters as Jesus does; that which pleases Him pleases them, and that which grieves His grieves them also.
Charles SpurgeonWe have an obligation to help people that cannot help themselves. The mentally retarded, the physically retarded, et cetera.
Lou HoltzHe who has felt his own ruin will not imagine the case of any to be hopeless; nor will he think them too fallen to be worthy his regard.

Joe BidenIf one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn’t take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.

Kamala HarrisInstead of judging people, we need to pray.
Joyce MeyerThere are folks who now know black families – like the Johnsons on ‚Black-ish‘ or the folks on ‚Modern Family.‘ They become part of who you are. You share their pains. You understand their fears. They make you laugh, and they change how you see the world.
Michelle ObamaI get impatient with people working on a film that have their head in their hands like it’s the most complicated thing in the world.
Angelina JolieWhen I was two, a dragonfly flew near me. A man knocked it to the ground and trod on it. I remember crying because I’d caused the dragonfly to be killed.
Jane GoodallWe think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
Mother TeresaI just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.
Joyce MeyerI don’t think that you can be prescriptive about anything, I mean, life is too complicated. Maybe there are novels where the author has not in the least thought about it in terms of film, which can be turned into good films.

Wayne DyerI have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.
Harry S. TrumanIt is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.
Wayne DyerI think any activity you have your kids in, you’re all trying to live vicariously through them. And you’re jealous of the kid that’s naturally more talented or has the facility, the body, the genes, or the God-given talent. People get jealous of that.
Abby Lee MillerI come from a poor family, I have seen poverty. The poor need respect, and it begins with cleanliness.
Narendra ModiI think it is the height of ignorance to believe that the sexual act is an independent function necessary like sleeping or eating. Seeing, therefore, that I did not desire more children, I began to strive after self-control. There was endless difficulty in the task.
Mahatma GandhiWhen we talk about mortality, we are talking about our children.
Christopher HitchensCould a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?
Henry David Thoreau‚Suffering should not make us bitter people,‘ my mother once said, ‚it should make us better comforters.‘ Young people need to hear this from those who have walked before them, because someday they’ll be walking those same steps, but there may not be anyone following behind.
Billy GrahamI would have a workshop attached to every school, and one hour a day given up to the teaching of simple decorative arts. It would be a golden hour to the children.

Noam ChomskyIt is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible.
Desmond TutuMy wife, a schoolteacher, very disciplined. If you think I’m tough, trust me, and wait till you see when the children are on the naughty step. It’s hilarious. So we decided that I’m going to work like a donkey and provide amazing support for the family.
Gordon RamsayWhen I talk to kids, I’m really listening. When I do that, we have a little bit of a bigger connection than me being Kendrick Lamar and you being a student. It’s almost like we’re friends. Because a friend listens.
Kendrick LamarLearning to live for others isn’t something that just comes naturally to anybody. You have to train yourself to do it.

George WashingtonI’m entirely interested in people, and also other creatures and beings, but especially in people, and I tend to read them by emotional field more than anything. So I have a special interest in what they’re thinking and who they are and who’s hiding behind those eyes and how did he get there, and what’s the story, really?
Alice WalkerI remember thinking quite logically that I didn’t want to spoil my children with wealth and so that I would create a foundation, but not knowing exactly what it would focus on.
Bill GatesThe first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: ‚If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?‘ But… the good Samaritan reversed the question: ‚If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?‘
Martin Luther King, Jr.Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.
Carl JungAnger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.
George EliotWe cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.
Albert SchweitzerLet’s face it. Umpiring is not an easy or happy way to make a living. In the abuse they suffer, and the pay they get for it, you see an imbalance that can only be explained by their need to stay close to a game they can’t resist.
Bob UeckerAnger cannot be dishonest.
Marcus AureliusMy son complains about headaches. I tell him all the time, when you get out of bed, it’s feet first!
Henny YoungmanThe fundamental defect of fathers, in our competitive society, is that they want their children to be a credit to them.
Bertrand RussellThe essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.
James MadisonThe correlative to loving our neighbors as ourselves is hating ourselves as we hate our neighbors.
Francis BaconYou can’t have it all all at once. Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all, but in given periods in time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.
Ruth Bader GinsburgI think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to.

Angelina JolieAn eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Mahatma GandhiWhen you have no basis for an argument, abuse the plaintiff.
