“When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I realized the world would not change and I decided to shorten my sights somewhat, and change only my country. But, it seemed immovable. As I entered my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I sought to change only my family, those closest to me. But, alas they would have none of it. And now here I lie on my death bed and realize, for the first time; that if only I’d changed myself first, then by example, I may have influenced my family and with their encouragement and support I may have bettered my country…and who knows… I may have changed the world.” -Anonymous
