The realization that we are basically the same human beings, who seek happiness and try to avoid suffering, is very helpful in developing a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood, as warm feeling of love and compassion for others. This, in turn, is essential if we are to survive in this ever- shrinking world we live in. For if we each selfishly pursue only what we believe to be our own interest, without caring about the needs of others, we not only may end up harming others, but also ourselves.
(Dalai Lama, 1989)
A traveler through our country would stop at a village, and he didn't have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu but it'll have various aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not enrich themselves. The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you to improve?
Nelson Mandela

Hermann Hesse
Life's a voyage that's homeward bound.
Herman Melville
there are four things in life that cannot be recovered:
A stone after it has been thrown;
A word after it has been spoken;
An opportunity when it has been missed; and
Time after it has passed…
