“If anyone can make a difference in this life, it’s YOU!”

“If we think a magic fairy named “time” is finally going to make all things right in the world, we’re dreaming.”

“Time doesn’t change things. It’s how we use our time that makes the difference.”

“Stand for something. Make your life mean something. Start where you are with what you have. You are enough.”

“If you have to say or do something controversial, aim so that people will hate that they love it and not love that they hate it.”

“Kindness can transform someone’s dark moment with a blaze of light. You’ll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today.”

“Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.”

“Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.He came closer still and called out “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.””I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” asked the somewhat startled wise man.To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, “But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!”At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, “It made a difference for that one.”

“All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be.”
