Making a difference

Never be afraid to do something new.
Remember,
amateurs built the ark;
professionals built the titanic.

To put the world right in order,
we must first put the nation in order;
to put the nation in order,
we must first put the family in order;
to put the family in order,
we must first cultivate our personal life;
we must first set our hearts right.

Confucius

We must not,
in trying to think about how we can make a big difference,
ignore the small daily differences we can make which,
over time,
add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

Marian Wright Edelman

And my all time favorite .......

Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I...
I took the one less traveled,
and that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost
