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.

BROTHER

02/27/08
We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish,
but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers. ….Martin Luther King, Jr.

There's no other love like the love for a brother.
There's no other love like the love from a brother. ………Astrid Alauda

I sought my soul, but my soul I could not see.
I sought my God, but my God eluded me.
I sought my brother and I found all three. ……..Author Unknown

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia,
the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners
will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. ……..Martin Luther King, Jr.

I believe in the brotherhood of all men,
but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone
who doesn't want to practice it with me.
Brotherhood is a two-way street. ……. Malcom X
