LITERACY
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. #<Author:0x00007f68dea937f8>
LIVE YOUR DREAMS
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. #<Author:0x00007f68dea80bf8>
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained. #<Author:0x00007f68dead2570>

PERSEVERANCE
The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up the nebulae, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are star stuff. #<Author:0x00007f68deb23588>
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Service is a smile. It is an acknowledging wave, a reaching handshake, a friendly wink, and a warm hug. It's these simple acts that matter most, because the greatest service to a human soul has always been the kindness of recognition. #<Author:0x00007f68deb78c68>
CHARITY
Great things can be achieved by leading through wisdom, empathy, and integrity—with no other agenda than humanity. #<Author:0x00007f68deb62ee0>
