“What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say”

–Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dryrot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”

–“Credo” by Jack London

“You can either practice being right or practice being kind.”

–Anne Lamott

“I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.”

–Dr. Albert Schweitzer

“It is never too late to be what you might have been”

–George Eliot
