Our Inspiration: Words to Lead By

Michelangelo  "I saw the angel in the marble and I chiseled until I set it free."

Nkosi Johnson  "Do all you can with all you have in the time you have where you are." South African boy who died of AIDs at age 12 after crusading on behalf of AIDs victims. From, We Are All the Same: A Story of a Boy's Courage and a Mother's Love, by James Wooten.

Buckminster Fuller "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a NEW model that makes the existing model obsolete."

West Point Cadet Maxim "Risk more than others think is safe.  Care more than others think is wise.  Dream more than others think is practical.  Expect more than others think is possible."

African Proverb  "If you want to go fast, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together."

Ian V. Ziskin  "You don't know what your values are until they cost you something."
