Quotations are the fundamental distillation of a writer’s life and thinking as recorded in words and phrases for posterity. Through them the reader is afforded the unique opportunity to share in the thoughts, the life and the experiences of the writer. In a special way, they offer the reader a window into the mind of the author and hopefully an inducement to read further and learn more about the author and the story he relates.

On a wider scale, they are, as William Feather wrote, “the wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages preserved into perpetuity“, and as such they are available for the enrichment and enhancement of humanity, regardless of age, sex, race, educational or economic status. They are indeed, as the Talmud states, “food for the famished”.

The collection of quotations presented in this blog, have been chosen by me because of their special impact upon me. They have been published so that you too, may experience the joy I have had over the years reading them and getting to know the authors.

I trust that you will come to know the feeling of deep satisfaction possible from reading them, searching out the author and meditating upon their meaning and their impact on your life.

UNITY

Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren
to dwell together in Unity. …….Psalms. 133:1

All people are a single nation. ……Holy Koran

It is in the shelter of each other that people live. …….Irish Proverb

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church.
For you and I are sons of one religion, ….and it is the Spirit. …..Kahlil Gibran

It is the spirit.
United we stand, divided we fall. …….Aesop

There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family;
Not as many separate ones. …….Anwar Sadat

We must learn to live together as brothers;
Or we are going tp perish together as fools. ……. Martin Luther King, Jr.

What divides us pales in comparison to what Unites us. …….Edward M. Kennedy
