“To grow a forest requires the right soil, favourable climatic conditions, sometimes the patient work of caretakers over many years. All it takes to make it burn is a single match thrown by a madman in an instant. To break the silence of a crowd, a shout is enough. To dirty a square, cleaned by the patient work of many, all it takes is a single drunken madman. To do good requires many people united, to do evil requires only one. We are in danger of overestimating the number of wicked or even just ignorant people and underestimating the number of generous people who care about the common good. Let us not be discouraged by the folly of a few, there are many of us. Let us stand united.” — Luigina Sgarro
To grow a forest requires the right soil, favourable climatic conditions, sometimes the patient work of caretakers over many years. All it takes to make it burn is a single match thrown by a madman in an instant.
To break the silence of a crowd, a shout is enough. To dirty a square, cleaned by the patient work of many, all it takes is a single drunken madman.
To do good requires many people united, to do evil requires only one. We are in danger of overestimating the number of wicked or even just ignorant people and underestimating the number of generous people who care about the common good.
Let us not be discouraged by the folly of a few, there are many of us.
Let us stand united.
