Favorite Quotes:

"It only takes one act of valor with integrity and honor through faith to turn the tide and save a life."

-- David Hafen

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.
In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains
seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all
must be most aware of change in the air - however slight -
lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."

-- William O Douglas

"I have learned silence from the talkative,
tolerance from the intolerant
and kindness from the unkind.
I should not be ungrateful to those teachers."

--Jubran Khalil Jubran
