Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
- Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
- Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
- John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)
