How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.

About This Quote

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.” This quote is a reminder to love the people around you no matter who they are or what they have done. How can you show love if you are not tolerant? You can’t be compassionate unless you are tender. And, if you really want to reach your full potential, then you should be sympathetic with the weak and strong.
