I love this quote! I so admire Elie Wiesel.

The quote reminds me of my early-teaching days mantra (especially while teaching middle school): “Abolish apathy.”

Admiring Elie Wiesel humbles me, causes me to reflect once again on why it is that I revert to ‘whining’ or ‘complaining’ when life has given and continues to offer me so many treasures.

[Aside: I've also realized that sharing a quote is an easy way to live up to my goal of one blogpost a day. So, I'm hoping that on days when I can't seem to find the energy and time to post elaborately, I can share one of the many favorite quotes I have collected. I hope you'll check back frequently, share some of yours, react to the quotes I share.]
