     for knowledge--and not a duty,
      not a calmaity, not trickery."

The above quotes were ones that I have collected over the past
 few years. Each one has spoken to my heart- and has in some way,
 affected a change in my life. It is my most sincere hope that at
  least one individual, who has read them over, may be as moved as
  I have been.

I plan to add more quotes as I come across them- so visit often, if
 you want to see the updates.
