A little thought, cannot be bought Never forgive those that retort To bully those who have different skin They are the ones committing a sin Embrace all, and love them no matter Let go of any, and let them scatter True friends are those in need Never let evil, sow its seed Candy 2021 Mine all mine

Bruce Charles "Bill" Mollison (4 May 1928 – 24 September 2016) was an Australian researcher, author, scientist, teacher and biologist. In 1981, he was awarded the Right Livelihood Award "for developing and promoting the theory and practice of permaculture".[2] Permaculture (from "permanent agriculture")[3] is an integrated system of ecological and environmental design which Mollison co-developed with David Holmgren, and which they together envisioned as a perennial and sustainable form of agriculture. In 1974, Mollison began his collaboration with Holmgren, and in 1978 they published their book Permaculture One, which introduced this design system to the general public. Mollison founded The Permaculture Institute in Tasmania, and created the education system to train others under the umbrella of permaculture.[4] This education system of "train the trainer", utilized through a formal Permaculture Design Course and Certification (PDC), has taught hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world how to grow food and be sustainable using permaculture design principles. Sounds like a wonderful human being to me!!!

There are so many Shakespeare quotes I like, I don't know where to begin: "The robb'd that smiles steals something from the thief" from Shakespeare's Othello. "Thieves for their robbery have authority When judges steal themselves." --"MEASURE FOR MEASURE", by William Shakespeare. “How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.” - William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice “The quality of mercy is not strain'd. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes." - William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice. “The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose." ― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 1, Sc. 3. And this one seems to prove Shakespeare was a socialist: "So Distribution Should Undo Excess, and Each Man Have Enough" Shakespeare's "King Lear" What can I say? The man was way ahead of his time.
Speaking of people who were way ahead of their time, I like this Thomas Jefferson one: "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” --Thomas Jefferson (letter, 1791)
