Tell me and I forget,
Teach me and I learn,
Involve me and I remember.

-Benjamin Franklin

To the world you may be just one person,
but to that person you may be the world.

-Brandi Snyder

Sometimes adversity impels a person
to greater heights, and sometimes it
provides the opportunity for a person
to be a blessing in the lives of others.

-Norma H. Hill

When I let go of what I am,
then I become who I might be.

–Lao Tzu
