"My friends, love is better than anger. 

Hope is better than fear. 

Optimism is better than despair. 

So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic. 

And we will change the world."

~ Jack Layton ~

"Of all our feelings, 

the only one that doesn't 

truly belong to us is hope. 

Hope belongs to life; 

it is life itself defending itself."

~ Julio Cortázar ~

“We cannot be afraid of change. 

You may feel very safe in the pond you're in, 

but if you never venture out of it, you'll never know 

that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. 

Clinging to something that suits you now may be 

the reason you don't have something better.”

~ C. JoyBell C. ~
