“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” St. Francis of Assisi

You are the person who has to decide;
Whether you’ll do it or toss it aside.

You are the person who makes up your mind;
Whether you’ll lead or will linger behind.

Whether you’ll try for the goal that’s afar;
Or just be contented to stay where you are.

Edgar A. Guest

“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 know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
