Hurt people, hurt people. That's how pain patterns get passed on, generation after generation after generation. Break the chain today. Meet anger with sympathy, contempt with compassion and cruelty with kindness. Greet grimaces with smiles. Forgive and forget about finding fault. Love is the weapon of the future. —Yehuda Berg

true and never was it more important to remember

Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.
Grit is not just a simple elbow-grease term for rugged persistence. It is an often invisible display of endurance that lets you stay in an uncomfortable place, work hard to improve upon a given interest and do it again and again. #<Author:0x000055aa4d9008b0>
GRIT
As is our confidence, so is our capacity. #<Author:0x000055aa4d8b8808>
CONFIDENCE
The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves. #<Author:0x000055aa4d9df470>
MENTORING
The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price. #<Author:0x000055aa4d9a1c38>
HARD WORK
The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family. #<Author:0x000055aa4da6eb98>
FAMILY
Be strong. You never know who you are inspiring. #<Author:0x000055aa4da333b8>
INSPIRATION
A smile starts on the lips, a grin spreads to the eyes, a chuckle comes from the belly; but a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, overflows, and bubbles all around. #<Author:0x000055aa4dae8c40>
LAUGHTER
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one. #<Author:0x000055aa4daba520>
HOPE
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity. #<Author:0x000055aa4db64ac0>
GENEROSITY
We must take personal responsibility. We cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but we can change ourselves. #<Author:0x000055aa4db27d78>
RESPONSIBILITY
Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. #<Author:0x000055aa4dbdb210>
HOPE
If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of itself. #<Author:0x000055aa4dbaccf8>
CHARACTER
When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life. #<Author:0x000055aa4db6ddc8>
SELF-CARE
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. #<Author:0x000055aa4dc201a8>
OPTIMISM
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? #<Author:0x000055aa4dbeebf8>
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself. #<Author:0x000055aa4dc9bb78>
