"At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have recieved,
how much money we hae made, how many great things we have done.
We will be judged by 'I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat,
I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you took me in.'" — Mother Teresa
