"I leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty
will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer
be a doubt that all men are created free and equal."
-Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

"So many gods, so many creeds;
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs."
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919)
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door that we do
not see the one which has been opened for us."
-Helen Keller (1880-1968)
