Understanding Hearts & Minds

We hear a lot of talk these days, of winning the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens of the world. Until we truly understand our fellow man, it will be impossible to foster lasting peace among nations. In that spirit, allow me to offer this gem from Lebanon-born poet, Kahlil Gibran.

"To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has acheived, but at what he aspires to."
