Helen Keller

Life, Nature, Men

Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.
John F. Kennedy

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
Mahatma Gandhi

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Forward, Real, Living

Edgar Allan Poe

Faith, Happy, Wise
