Not just charity, even corruption begins at home.

In order to appreciate and respect diversity we must first recognize and embrace our humanity.

The easiest thing for a person is to accept everything as it is and adjust with everyone in the surroundings by sacrificing or compromising originality, but it's also the worst thing if he proclaims that he has changed himself.
