The End

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do”

“It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself”

“I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision”

“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself”

“Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both”

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience”

-Eleanor Roosevelt
