Inspiring Quotes

"When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed

of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered that the

world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided

to change only my country, But it, too, seemed immovable. As I grew

into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for

changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have

none of it. And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If

only I had changed myself first, then by example I would have changed

my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have

been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world."
