unlocks the fullness of
life... It can turn a

tomorrow." (Melody

I love." (Alice

teach our children how
to measure, how to
weigh. We fail to teach

something which is
potentially given to
all men, is now a rare
gift." (Abraham
Joshua Herschel)

our experiences become
more marvelous with age

wonders." (G. K.

itself." (Henry
