Later, I Discovered There Was A Lot

I Guess I Started Too Early Because I Just Thought It Was Something Fun To Do.

Drummed Into Me, Above All, By My Dad, By The Whole Family, Was That Without Your Good Name, You Would Be Nothing.

Start Where You Are, Use What You Have.

I Know I Could Never Forgive Myself If I Elected To Live Without Humane Purpose, Without Trying To Help The Poor And Unfortunate, Without Recognizing That Perhaps The Purest Joy In Life Comes With Trying To Help Others.

I Take The Good With The Bad, And I Try To Face Them Both With As Much Calm And Dignity As I Can Muster.
