Monday Quote, 21st April

Today's quote is from Former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela.

No one is born hating another person beacuse of the colour 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.

Mandela, Neslon, Long Walk to Freedom: Back Bay Books, Boston (1994)

It is something that I believe in, the eternaly good in man.

Mondays Quote, 14th April

So on Firday I started the whole Friday Poetry Reflection and I think it is only right that on a Monday a quote should start us off. The quotes may be funny, philosphical, thought provoking, political or off the wall. It just to get the creative juices flowing on a Monday.

Todays Quote is from the French writer and Diplomat, Josephe de Maistre (1753-1821)

Toute nation a la gouverement qu'elle méirite

Translation: Every country has the government it deserves
