February 11, 2013 2 Comments


Never mock a person in poverty until you’ve walked a day in their shoes.

It’s just possible that the externally impoverished soul has a wonderful story to tell you. Your judgement will nearly always get in the way of your listening.

Make a new friend, make your world bigger and our world smaller.
