Facts Quote by Melchor Lim
“Pay close attention, and respect people for who they are and not for who you want them to be. We dont know most people half as well as we believe we do; and truly knowing someone is a big part of what makes them wonderful. Every human being is remarkable and beautiful; it just takes a patient set of eyes to see it. The more you get to know someone, the more you will be able to look beyond their appearance and see the beauty of who they truly are.”
