When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world."

I will arise and go now, for always night and day<br /> <br /> I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;<br /> <br /> While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,<br /> <br /> <br /> I hear it in the deep heart&#039;s core.
