"This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind; a temper of the will;a quality of imagination; a predominance of courage over timidity; of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease. Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and in the total of all these acts will be written the history of this generation. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance".
