Favorite Quote:

"On some positions, Cowardice asks the question "Is it safe?" Expediency asks the question "Is it politic?" And Vanity comes along and asks the question "Is it popular?" But Conscience asks the question "Is it right?" And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right." -- Martin Luther King Jr

"We need art to live fully. Without art, we are dry husks drifting aimlessly on every ill wind; our fortunes are without promise and our present without grace." -- Maya Angelou

"It's not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." -- Charles Darwin
