“Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity.” Nancy Astor
You know the phrases … those catchy little statements that people use to convey a message or sentiment. “That guy, he gets along with everyone,” or “I’ve never heard an unkind word come from her mouth,” or “He is one of the most “down to earth” people I’ve ever worked for.” People want to be liked, want to belong and feel significant.

What words would people use to describe how you link or connect?
