Quotes of the day:
On July 18th, on honor of Mandela’s Bday, I did a Daily Roundup in honor of him with some of my favorite quotes from him. I feel it is only fitting that today, I reblog these in remeberanceof him:
- “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.”
- “A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.”
- “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”
- “As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”
- “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
