• "Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby. The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own. Benjamin Disraeli To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded. Ralph Waldo Emerson To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer. Mahatma Gandhi The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. Nelson Henderson Each time we stand up for an ideal, or act to improve the lot of others, or strike out against injustice, we send forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Robert F. Kennedy When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That is my religion. Abraham Lincoln There is no greater joy nor greater reward than to make a fundamental difference in someone's life. Mary Rose McGeady Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny. -Gandhi"
