I always have this quote hanging up in my cubicle or on my office door (when I was fortunate to have an office with a door) as a daily reminder that our elders should always be respected and well cared for:
"A test to a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture." Abraham J. Heschel
