Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead "In the rush for justice it is important not to lose sight of principles the country holds dear." - Kofi Annan "In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same."- Albert Einstein "What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?" - Henry David Thoreau "For the times, they are a changin'." -Bob Dylan "If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room." - Anita Koddick
