Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
When it's all over, it's not who you were but whether you made a difference. -- Bob Dole
May those who love us love us,
and those who do not love us,
may God turn their hearts,
and if He cannot turn their hearts
may He turn their ankles
that we may know them by their limping.
~Irish Prayer
