“We’re identifying now by our race, by our ethnic group. We’re separating ourselves and we live in different realities.” — Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.)
George Washington’s Rules of Civility
Written when he was just 14 years old, the rules were drawn from an English translation of a French book of maxims.
“When you see a crime punished, you may be inwardly pleased, but always show pity to the suffering offender.
“Let your discourse with men of business be short and comprehensive.”
“In speaking to men of quality, do not lean nor look to them full in the face, nor approach too near them at least keep a full pace from them.”
“In visiting the sick, do not presently play the physician if you be not knowing therein.”
“In writing or speaking, give every person his due title according to his degree and custom of the place”
Quotes by Mother Teresa

“There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.”
“If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.”
“Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier.”
