FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

"It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important.  You have to do the right thing.  It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit.  But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing.  You may never know what results come from your action.  But if you do nothing, there will be no result." ~Mahatma Gandhi 

 "People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those of us who are doing it." ~George Bernard Shaw

"Behold the turtle for he does not move forward without sticking out his neck."    ~James Bryant Conant
