Thread Quotations
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. Chief Seattle He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life. Victor Hugo Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides. Lao Tzu America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth. Jesse Jackson My life was on the line here and my career and everything I worked for, it was hanging by a thread. Rafael Palmeiro |
