One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

“I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself.” - Oscar Wilde

"Basketball's my thing. I can hoop. Case closed."

"We don't know who we are until we see what we can do." - Martha Grimes

“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.” - Alex Karras

'Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false, and the false with the true.' MLK Jr.

"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." - Thomas Jefferson

"Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf." - Orson Scott Card
