I'll start with three quotes from the very inspiring Helen Keller as noted in "Your Year of Healing" book by Amit Sood, MD:

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Two quotes expressing the same sentiment:

“A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not.” – John Quincy Adams

Correction! Sorry!
The correct quote is:
"Before you go to bed, give your troubles to God. He'll be up all night anyway!"

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr,)

"Sincere?" You ask!
I think he knew that often times people truly believe with conviction, e.g. believing earth is flat because they do have Pictures of ships far away but showing no sinking of the hull. BUT this no-sink phenomena happens due to Light Refraction. Since picture takers don't know the Science behind this illusion, they continue to believe -- Sincerely Believe -- that Earth is flat. In other words they often believe their false ideas because they never get to have Reasonable Discussion with the Other side.

Unfortunately too much waste and fights among us are because we either don't understand or don't TRY to engage with others who think differently.
