Today my heart opens a little bit more as I go about creating the world I want to live in." - Victoria Halik

You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves." - William J. H. Boetcker
