Please remember to check in on your strong friend, your busy friend, your happy friend… your “seems to handle everything well” friend.

If two people always agree, it’s a sign that at least one of them isn’t thinking critically—or speaking candidly.

Differences of opinion don't have to be threats. They can be opportunities to learn.

Intellectual friction isn't a relationship bug. It's a feature of education.

@CynthiaSJewell I couldn’t agree more

Let this sink in 👇🏾!

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Jesus's cross is God's silent throne. Let us daily contemplate his wounds. In those gashes, we recognize our emptiness, our shortcomings, the wounds of our sin. His wounds were inflicted for our sake, and by those wounds we have been healed. #GoodFriday

@CynthiaSJewell @TSH302 @tjvari You are so deserving of this recognition. Your selfless leadership is worth celebrating as a “now” member of the black history elite #BlackHistoryMonth2021 #NAACPImageAwards #BHM2021 #blackexcellence #RepresentationMatters #BGM

Which brave Republican Senator will repudiate this?

@CollinsforGA How many kids have you adopted, or foster, I missed that?

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The coronavirus is not the only disease to be fought, but rather, the pandemic has shed light on broader social ills. One of these is a distorted view of the person, a perspective that ignores the dignity and relational character of the person. #GeneralAudience

@realDonaldTrump “Gifts of freedom”???? Is that what you think it is?

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Your legacy as a leader is determined not by the number of followers you have, but by the amount of good your followers do.

If you’re always afraid of others taking advantage of you, you’ll succeed in protecting yourself in the moment—but you’ll fail at building relationships over time.

Trust starts with small acts of generosity, without the expectation of reciprocity.

Great Christmas 🎄 Eve!!! Ain’t nothing better than Donny Hathaway on Christmas Eve!! Let’s get it!!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Some argue that the US is not really engaged in hostilities in Yemen. But as these Yemeni human rights activists told me recently, when Yemenis see "Made in USA" on the bombs killing their children, it’s very clear that the US is part of this war. This must end.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

You can’t plan a career decades ahead. Some of the jobs and places that will interest you then don’t exist now—and some that interest you now will be gone then.

Throw out your 10-year career plan. Plan for the knowledge and skills you want to learn next year.

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

When a president provides cover for an autocrat in the murder of a U.S. resident, he is not advancing American values. He is betraying them.

That puts private financial interests first. Not America.

And our standing in the world plummets.
