Anne Morrow Lindbergh "To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own." Pele "Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." Chief Joseph "The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it." George Herbert "Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along." Martin Luther King, Jr. "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." |
