Dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of. Ben Franklin 

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.                                 Unknown

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.                                                      George Bernard Shaw

One hundred years from now, It won't matter what car I drove, What kind of house I lived in, How much money I had in my bank account, Nor what my clothes looked like; But, the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child........... in the life of a student....... in the life of another person...

The ability to think straight, some knowledge of the past, some vision of the future, some skill to do useful service, some urge to fit that service into the well-being of the community -- these are the most vital things education must try to produce." Virginia Gildersleeve,

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Albert Einstein

When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is trying to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.

Never doubt that a small group of dedicated people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.   Margaret Mead
