Acting Wisely

Julia’s three ways to act wisely:

The first way, by thinking, is the noblest. The second way, by imitation, is the easiest. The third way, through experience, is the bitterest.

—Confucius, Munich, May, 1993

Love

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home, for this is where our love for each other must start.

—Mother Teresa
