    The test of courage comes when we are in the minority.
            The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.

In a time of drastic change it is the learners
who inherit the future.
The learned usually find themselves
equipped to live in a world
that no longer exists.
                                                                                ~ Eric Hoffer
 
 
 
                                                    Be like the bird, who   
                                     Halting in his flight   
                                     On limb too slight   
                                     Feels it give way beneath him,   
                                     Yet sings,   
                                     Knowing he hath wings.
   
                                                                               ~ Victor Hugo

                                                     Going through Lent
                                                                               is a listening.
