The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent, or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

Not to the curious or impatient soul That in the start, demands the end be shown, And at each step, stops waiting for a sign; But to the tireless toiler toward the goal, Shall the great miracles of God be known And life revealed, immortal and divine.
