Powerful Words To Live By

"You really don't understand something until you can explain it to your grandmother." - Albert Einstein

"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." - Mohandas K. Gandhi

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle

"The world bestows its big prizes, both in money and honors, for but one thing. and that is Initiative. What is Initiative? I'll tell you: It is doing the right thing without being told." - Elbert Hubbard

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause - who at best, if he wins knows the thrills of high achievement and if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timd souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

We are all one race; the human race.
