I need a really good quote about being honest and kind to each other...
I've been elected to write something for my family Christmas thing this year. Cheesy I know, but It's been done every year, and the aunt I can't stand who lies all the time is going to be there and I want to really make her squirm. Help? Duckie
"I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man." --George Washington
"Honesty is the first chapter in the Book of wisdom. Let it be our endeavor to merit the character of a just nation." --Thomas Jefferson
Those are qualities which are a must if we are to claim civility. But here's my favorite since I'm feeling well insightful... "grant me the strength to accept that which I can not change, the courage to change what I can and the wisdom to know the differenece."
This is part of the so called metta meditation. It begins with the use of the first person pronoun," I," then wih members of one's family or a collective. like "we." May we be filled with loving kindness May we be well May we be at peace and at ease and may we be happy.
