To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — that is to have succeeded.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
