Quotes
As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope.
To the wrongs that need resistance,
To the right that needs assistance, To the future in the distance, Give yourselves.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.
Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
