Favorite Quote:

"Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now we are the hours of the work and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime."

~W.E.B. Dubois
