But underneath our different skin,

The same heart beats, deep within.

For brothers, sisters all are we,

Sizing Up the Elephant

Guidicare L‘Elefante

There is an Indian fable

about six blind men who

encountered an elephantfor the first time.

C’è una vecchia favola

indiana a proposito di

dieci ciechi che

incontrarono per la prima

volta un elefante.


12/26

One man felt

the

elephant's

leg and said,"An elephant

is like a tree.“

Uno di loro

tastò la

gamba

dell’animale

e disse:

«L’elefante

assomiglia a

un albero».


13/26

Another grasped histail and said, "No, anelephant is like a

rope.“

Un altro afferrò la

coda e disse: «No,

l’elefante assomigliaa una corda».


14/26

The third bumped into the

elephant's broad side and said,

"I'm telling you, an elephant is like

a wall."

Il terzo batté contro il suo fianco e disse: «No, no,

l’elefante è come un

muro».


15/26

The fourth man felt

an ear, smiled, and

said, "Ah, I am nowaware that the

elephant is like a

leaf."

Il quarto cieco toccò un

orecchio, sorrise e disse:«Ah, adesso so che

l’elefante assomiglia a

una foglia».


16/26

The fifth man grabbed

one of the elephant's

smooth, sharp tusks

and declared, "Theelephant is definitely

like a spear!”

Il quinto afferrò una

delle zanne lisce e

acuminate

dell’elefante e

dichiarò: «L’elefante

assomiglia

decisamente a una

lancia!”


17/26

The sixth man

caught hold of the

elephant's trunk

and said, "You'reall wrong! An

elephant is like a

snake.”

Il sesto uomo prese

in mano la

proboscide e

proferì concertezza: «Avete

tutti torto!

L’elefante è fatto

come un serpente”.


18/26

They were all right, but none

of them was completely right

or the only one who was right.

We laugh, but we have all jumped to conclusions when

we only saw part of the

"elephant."

Tutti avevano ragione, ma

nessuno aveva

completamente ragione o

era l’unico ad averla.

La storia ci fa sorridere, ma

siamo tutti arrivati a

conclusioni in cui vedevamo

solo una parte dell ’“elefante”.

What a wonderful world it would be if the

only thing we saw when we looked at

others was love—the color of love. –

Michael Roy

Che mondo meraviglioso sarebbe,

se l’unica cosa che vedessimo negli altri

fosse l’amore — il colore dell’amore. -

Michael Roy


21/26

I say that we should regard all men as our

brothers. What? The Turk my brother? The

Chinaman my brother? The Jew? The

Siam? Yes, without doubt; are we not all

children of the same father and creatures

of the same God?—Voltaire

Io dico che dovremmo considerare tutti gli

uomini come fratelli. Che cosa dici? Il turco

mio fratello? Il cinese mio fratello? L’ebreo?

Il siamese? Sì, indubbiamente; non siamo

tutti figli dello stesso padre e creature dello

stesso Dio? —Voltaire


22/26

If you try to make your circle closed and

exclusively yours, it never grows very

much. Only a circle that has lots of room

for anybody who needs it has enough

spare space to hold any real magic.

— Zilpha Keatley Snyder

Se cerchi di fare un cerchio chiuso ed

esclusivamente tuo, non crescerà mai molto.

Solo un cerchio con molto spazio per

chiunque ne abbia bisogno ne ha a

sufficienza per fare una vera magia. - Zilpha

Keatley Snyder


23/26

If you approach each new person you meet

in a spirit of adventure, you will find yourself

endlessly fascinated by the new channels of

thought and experience and personality that

you encounter. —Eleanor Roosevelt

Se ti avvicini a ogni nuova persona che

incontri con uno spirito d’avventura, ti

troverai infinitamente affascinato dai nuovi

canali di pensiero, esperienze e personalità

che incontrerai. - Eleanor Roosevelt


24/26

If you judge people, you have no time to

love them. —Mother Teresa

Se giudicate le persone, non avrete il tempo

di amarle. - Madre Teresa


25/26

In everything, do to others what you

would have them do to you.

—Jesus, Matthew 7:12 NIV

Tutte le cose dunque che voi volete che gli

uomini vi facciano, fatele anche voi a loro.

- Gesù, Matteo 7:12
