TOLERANCE
The best 400 year old advice you can get on how to behave;
Courtesy of an English Poet
called
William Shakespeare
-
They that have power to hurt and will do none
That do not do the thing they most do show
Who,moving others, are themselves as stone,
Umoved, cold and to temptation slow,
-
They rightly do inherit heavens graces
And husband natures riches from expense;
They are the Lords and owners of their faces
Others but stewards of their excellence.
-
The summer's flower is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves it's dignity:
-
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lillies that fester
Smell far worse than weeds
-
Something to aim for
-
Exercise the power you have to control yourself
-
And don't become a lilly that festers
