"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these." -- George Washington Carver

Yes, at this point in time, I can say i have been in all the roles Mr. Carver has enumerated. I have also felt being at the receiving end of this things in a way.:)

yes I have been all of them myself, I try to be a good person to everyone too. I do believe in what goes around comes around.

Perhaps I have, but I am not quite what I consider aged, yet. I am not sure that I am striving. I have been young, and weak, and at times I have been strong. I am in the process of aging, but I believe I may have only lived half of my life so far. The second half shall be better.

Hi raydene! That is such a beautiful quote. And I completely agree on that. I guess, someday I will be one of those aged people and I hope that people will be tolerant and compassionate with me when i reached that aged. Take care and God bless!

Another briliant quote from you. You are inspiring me to get out the list of internetional proverbs I have gathered, and start posting them. I think I might just do that. You sure have a great collection of quotes.
