Food For Thought…

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keep­ing one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lay defeat and death.”  – Nelson Mandela in “Long Walk to Freedom”
