Each day, awakening, are we asked to paint the sky blue? Need we coax the sun to rise or flowers to bloom? Need we teach birds to sing, or children to laugh, or lovers to kiss?

The Creator does not ask that we create a perfect world; He asks that we celebrate it.

The road to success is wherever people need another road.
