important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!

is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is
beauty and there is strength.
Perhaps
travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh,
eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each

isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage,

inaccessible.

all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand

encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
I
have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
The
honorary duty of a human being is to love.

strangers.
"I've
learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel."
The
future is plump with promise."
"We
cannot change the past, but we can change our attitude toward it. Uproot guilt
and plant forgiveness. Tear out arrogance and seed humility. Exchange love for
hate --- thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising."
