A Child In Search of Wisdom . . .

This above all — to thine ownself be true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
-Shakespeare

There is a destiny that makes us brothers:
None goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own.
-Edwin Markham

If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store
Two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with the dole
Buy Hyacinths to feed thy soul.
-Gulistan of Moslih Eddin Saadi,
Mohammedan sheik, Persian poet 1184-1291
