“I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me. If a human being dreams a great dream, dares to love somebody; if a human being dares to be bigger than the condition into which he or she was born, it means so can you. And so, you can try to stretch. Stretch. Stretch yourself.”
-Maya Angelou
Grace
“Here in the Sahyadri forest was an old man, a tribal with no schooling, practicing a highly principled philosophy of life—give when you take; do not take without giving. This was culture at its best. I smiled and gracefully accepted his gift…The Thandappa rose even further in my esteem when he remarked with a twinkle, ‘There is a grace in accepting also.'”
