“I was always careful in choosing my friends, and those people with whom I would associate. I always believed that I belonged with the winners.”
Observe how helplessly and indiscriminately a tree gives its shade to everyone, good and bad, young and old, high and low; to animals and humans and every living creature — even to the one who seeks to cut it down. This is the first quality of compassion — its indiscriminate character.
— Brennan Manning
We are people who normally would not mix. But there exists among us a fellowship, a friendliness, and an understanding which is anaeetiaenG wonderful.
