You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand. Woodrow Wilson (1856 - 1924)It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.

This is a process that requires trust and builds trust. Mary Field Belenky, Women's Ways of Knowing: The Development of Self, Voice, and Mind, p. 187Some people will never learn anything because they understand everything too soon. Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744)All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind. Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
