- Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
- Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead, anthropologist, 1978 Planetary Citizen of the Year

- Trees by Joyce Kilmer *
- I think that I shall never see
- A poem lovely as a tree.
- A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
- Against the earth's free flowing breast;
- A tree that looks to God all day,
- And lifts her leafy limbs to pray;
- A tree that may in summer wear
- A nest of robins in her in her hair;
- Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
- Who sways in sync with wind and rain,
- Poems are made by fools like me,
- But only God can make a tree.
* I took some liberties with the original.

- Whether the weather be fine
- Or whether the weather be not,
- Whether the weather be cold
- or whether the weather be hot,
- We'll weather the weather
- whatever the weather
- Whether we like it or not.
- Together!
