| "May you do something - or some things - that matters. Now let me clarify: matter to you. People who care deeply about something - whether the plight of immigrants, advances in nanotechnology, amateur soccer, piloting a small plane, adventure travel, Creole cooking, politics, or crossword puzzles - are among the most interesting and fortunate people I know. Figure out what you really care about and stay close to that. Consider your work, your family, your hobbies, volunteering, friends, where and how you live, how you spend your time." |
| Karen Rauenhorst, community leader |
| "Days like today remind us that hope is the ultimate healer. They remind us that the possibility of change, and growth and progress are always present in the world. And remember that our participation - with whatever gifts we have - is essential. All the technical innovations in the world are meaningless without the human capacity for bringing hope to those who are vulnerable and in need of care." |
