People whose integrity has not been damaged in childhood, who were protected, respected, and treated with honesty by their parents, will be-both in their youth and in adulthood-intelligent, responsive, empathic, and highly sensitive. they will take pleasure in life and will not feel any need to kill or even hurt others or themselves. they will use their power to defend themselves, not to attack others. they will not be able to do otherwise than respect and protect those weaker than themselves, including their children, because this is what they have learned from their own experience.

More From Alice Miller

An empathic way of being can be learned from empathic persons. perhaps the most important statement of all is that the ability to be accurately empathic is something which can be developed by training. therapists, parents and teachers can be helped to become empathic. this is especially likely to occur if their teachers and supervisors are themselves individuals of sensitive understanding. it is most encouraging to know that this subtle, elusive quality, of utmost importance in therapy, is not something one is "born with", but can be learned, and learned most rapidly in an empathic climate.

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

In 1990, when we started the black community crusade for children, we were always talking about all children, but we paid particular attention to children who were not white, who were poor, who were disabled, and who were the most vulnerable.parents didn't think their children would live to adulthood, and the children didn't think they were going to live to adulthood. that's when we started our first gun-violence campaign. we've lost 17 times more young black people to gun violence since 1968 than we lost in all the lynching in slavery.

Dance. dance for the joy and breath of childhood. dance for all children, including that child who is still somewhere entombed beneath the responsibility and skepticism of adulthood. embrace the moment before it escapes from our grasp. for the only promise of childhood, of any childhood, is that it will someday end. and in the end, we must ask ourselves what we have given our children to take its place. and is it enough?

Integrity is at the heart of commerce in the world in which we live. honesty and integrity comprise the very underpinnings of society.....indeed, the strength and safety of any organization-including the family-lie in the integrity of its members. without personal integrity, there can be no confidence. without confidence, there can be no prospect of permanent success.

I have spoken all over the world and i have great respect for muslims, i have great respect for the african people, i have respect for the other races. even back home in lousiana, i'm called a racist, but i have respect for the black people of my country and i want them to have their own life, too, and i want them to be able to pursue their own destiny and not be controlled, and not be damaged.

We are the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all people as a right and yet we end up spending much more than they do, so i do believe that we have to move toward a medicare for all, single-payer system.
Country Believe Moving
A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful moneymaker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example. a manager may be tough and practical, squeezing out, while the going is good, the last ounce of profit and dividend, and may leave behind him an exhausted industry and a legacy of industrial hatred. a tough manager may never look outside his own factory walls or be conscious of his partnership in a wider world. i often wonder what strange cud such men sit chewing when their working days are over, and the accumulating riches of the mind have eluded them.

In some respects i have been the most unlucky because i have spent more time living as a refugee outside my country than i have spent in tibet. on the other hand, it has been very rewarding for me to live in a democracy and to learn about the world in a way that we tibetans had never known before.

One of the gaps in our international development efforts is the provision of global public goods - that is, goods or conditions we need that no individual or country can secure on their own, such as halting global warming, financial stability and peace and security.
