Quote of the Day

We cannot drift, really. We cannot coast forever. We cannot agree with a shrug to leave our children a world of murder and war and corruption and hurt souls. Though there is no final victory that we can achieve on our own, still we must work so that things don't worsen. To have children is to look to the future and glimpse the consequence of the present moment. To have children is to understand what it means that down at the end of the easy stream, the rocks are sharp and the water cold.
