Re: Taking Action, Commitment, and Determination

• If the world seems cold to you, kindle fies to warm it!
  If the world's a wilderness, go, build houses in it!

-- Lucy Larcom

• Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has.

-- Margaret Mead

• Press on: nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world of full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are overwhelmingly powerful.

-- President Calvin Coolidge
