Do Your Best

"I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: 'Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest.' I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have - When he gives everything that is in him to do the job he has before him. That is all you can ask of him and that is what I have tried to do."
- Harry S. Truman


Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. 
- Albert Einstein


Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.                
- Howard Zinn
