Today's quote was submitted by Tobias
Thurgood Marshall said "The legal system can force open doors and sometimes even knock down walls. But it cannot build bridges. That job belongs to you and me." I love that. It reminds me of the parable of the two brothers, who lived on adjoining farms and shared everything for 40 years, but they had a bitter falling out. One day, a carpenter arrived seeking work. The older brother asked him to build a tall fence between the properties to block out his brother. The older brother left for town. When he returned at sunset, he was shocked to find that he hadn't built a fence at all—he had built a beautiful bridge across the dividing creek. The younger brother walked across the bridge, held out his hand, and asked for forgiveness. Moved by the gesture, they reconciled and embraced, proving that building connections heals old wounds.
