Paul Tillich
As you put into practice the qualities of patience, punctuality, sincerity, and solicitude, you will have a better opinion of the world around you
Grenville Kleiser

Anna Louise Strong
Life, misfortunes, isolation, abandonment, poverty, are battlefields which have their heroes; obscure heroes, sometimes greater than the illustrious heroes
Victor Hugo
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.
Helen Keller
