Shimmer of Gold
"A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children.
Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children.
But the affection and care for the old, the incurable,
the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture."
-Abraham Joshua Heschel
"I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person.
There was such a glory over everything.
The sun came up like gold through the trees,
And I felt like I was in heaven."
-Harriet Tubman
