No Man is an Island

No man is an island entire of itself;

every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

if a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,

as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were.

any man's death diminishes me,

because I am involved in mankind.

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

A poem by John Donne, taken from Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions

So that each and every one of us remember that we are part of mankind, none is more significant than the other.
