CARING
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead. #<Author:0x00007f356f675560>
MAKING A DIFFERENCE

IMAGINE

ENCOURAGEMENT

KINDNESS
In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices. #<Author:0x00007f356f780f18>
GRATITUDE
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. #<Author:0x00007f356f7b0e98>
COURAGE
There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder. #<Author:0x00007f356f7dd588>
