A THOUGHT TO CARRY WITH YOU:
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for our own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to who we think we can be most useful.
Madame Marie Curie
