Quote of the Month

“I long to accomplish a great & noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great & noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.”

Author Helen Keller
