"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."
– Henri Bergson

"What do we live for, if not to make the world less difficult for each other?"
– Mary Ann Evans

"Think you can't change the world? Too late,
you already have. It was changed for the better the minute you were born. There are more people than you can imagine who will never be the same because they came in contact with you, if only for a fleeting moment."
– Gail Pursell Elliott, "The Dignity and Respect Lady"

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives
valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows the
great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who, at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
– Theodore Roosevelt
