You were born with the power to change others. You change people by the way you treat them. That is what changes the human heart.

About This Quote

You were born with the power to change others. Not only that, but you are also born with the power to change yourself. The way you treat people can either change them or destroy them. When you treat someone badly, you bring out the worst in them, and they often respond by treating you badly.

You must always keep your heart open to people and allow others to see their good. That is what changes the human heart.
