"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it 's the only thing that ever does." - Margaret Mead "love much... be strong.... ain't that what it is all about???" Shannon Brady "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 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
