It’s a thousand times better to have commonsense
without education than to have education without
commonsense. Robert Ingersoll
One seed can start a forest
One candle can drive darkness
One word can frame your goal
One hope can raise your spirit
One smile can lift a soul
One touch can heal a heart.
One life can make
a mountain of difference.
Be that ONE today.
Make a Difference
