CHARACTER
Education is the way to move mountains, to build bridges, to change the world. #<Author:0x00007f37bb6acbc0>

Compassion is a power that we first bestow on ourselves and then give away through our actions—to people, to our planet. When we recognize this, that is when love becomes our legacy. #<Author:0x00007f37bb6a6400>
COMPASSION
The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. #<Author:0x00007f37bb6a5a00>

CHARACTER

GRATITUDE
Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness... or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have—life itself. #<Author:0x00007f37bb6a2800>
OVERCOMING
Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, creativity, or curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live. #<Author:0x00007f37bb6a1540>
