Some things have a feeling of ageless wisdom about them. As you know, Path Out of Poverty is in the youth business and we are always on the lookout for quotes, stories, sayings, etc which will cheer us up, give us strength, and make sense. Here’s a gem from the past which every time I read, I believe it is still as relevant today as it was 30 years. Please write to me and tell me what you think of the quote below.

All I really need to know I learned at Kindergarten.
• Share everything
• Play fair
• Don’t hit people
• Put things back where you found them
• Clean up your own mess
• Don’t take things that are not yours
• Say you are sorry when you hurt somebody
• Wash your hands before you eat
• Flush
• Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you
• Live a balanced life – learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some
• Take a nap every afternoon
• When you go out into the world watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
