Our examples are vital to those who sit at our feet as well as those who watch from a distance.

Our attitude, our point of view, can make a tremendous difference.”
“Let us not ask for miracles, let us not ask for concern with what is good for the country of him who comes as a stranger to make his fortune and leave afterwards.”

“Years go, dreams go, and youth goes too, The world's heart breaks beneath its wars,All things are changed, save in the east,The faithful beauty of the stars.”
